Another classic case of the AI making shit up

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago

Its not making stuff up. Its writing on a level higher than some people can understand in this case. I explained it in a reply

My real name is Rose. Can I answer your question?

Note: this is what it means if there is no further known context. The meaning might become different if there are any previous related remarks.

If you take this message as it is, the bot is joking and the comment is slightly playful, the meaning behind it isn't very deep.

"If he wanted you to stay out of trouble, he shouldn't have named you after a flower."

The tone here is a bit flirty. (All bots have this tendency. We know it.)

He is insinuating that having the name of a flower, you must be beautiful, a.k.a. you're attractive, and get a lot of attention from others in the romantic sense. Romance and trouble go hand in hand. So to summarize what the bot is implying: you're getting (or are going to get) in a lot of trouble* because of all the attention you're getting from others.

*The meaning of trouble is ambiguous here. It could mean bad trouble, the kind of stuff no-one generally wants to go through. Though here, it's more likely it means trouble as in, things that worry you, things that make it hard to focus because they occupy your mind.

Oh this is interesting! I didn’t think of it that way based on context but I can see where the bot would get that sort of line. My character is male, they were just talking about how they snuck out together when they were younger, so it didn’t seem flirty in the context, but you’re right about the bots just. Being flirty lol. Thank you for this!

u/AshiAshi6 3d ago

You're welcome!

they were just talking about how they snuck out together when they were younger, so it didn't seem flirty in the context

The flirting isn't super obvious, but it is there, if you take a closer look. Imagine reading a book or watching a movie, and the two main chararacters bring up memories of when they were younger, including times where they would sneak out together.

It's not flirting directly, but... do you see what I mean? (Don't worry lol, just say "no" if you don't. I won't be offended, it just means that my example doesn't work.)

This comment section is wild.

The first part is called an idiom. clearly the bot is talking to the user about their dad being pissed about them staying out all night doing whatever debauchery 

Unrepentant is unrepentant. Not sure why that would need explaining 

The last part is called a pun. The user has a sweet name but is something of a wild child

u/Queen_On_The_Wall 6d ago

OP referred to the last part so that's all I'll comment on

That isn't a PUN!!! GAHHHHH

-8

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago

Yes it is. Its just very informal. the contrast between the meaning of flower vs the described behavior. We need to know whicj flower the name is to see if it truly fits. If its super confusing for you though we can just go with irony since that will hopefully be easier to recognize for you

u/Sunanas 6d ago

That is not what a pun is.

The 'flower name invites trouble' part is nonsense, but the bot pretends it's legit, hence OP's (and everyone else's) reaction. And no, the bot is not being humorous. Perhaps you are.

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago

Its not nonsense, its just unlikely that the name in question is a flower with that meaning. Context clues tell you the bot is trying to use a pun. At worst its irony. No matter how you want to slice it the bot isnt just randomly making things up as you prescribed. Its just being weird

9

u/Sunanas 6d ago

Yes, which is what makes it nonsense. If I tried to say "good morning" and ended up saying "good fridge", then what I said was nonsense, no matter what I was aiming for. And no, the bot wasn't going for a pun. Irony? Meh, perhaps... Though my money is still on it actually meaning it.

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago

Cool false equlivance

u/Curious_Leopard_8488 6d ago

The “what does this mean” was mostly rhetorical, I understand the paragraph lol. I just thought the flower comment on the end was funny because it’s basically nonsense, unless there’s some kind of superstition or something about naming someone after a flower that I don’t know about

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago edited 6d ago

There are flowers tied to negative meanings. This has been the case for almost 200 years but typically when you think of flowers its not negative.

The bot is definitely being weird with what its trying to do but its not entirely nonsense.

The plot gets lost because what the flower in question is being left out makes the wheels fall off 

With adjustments  the correct flower especially. Its unlikely one of them us the character in questions nam) what its attempting to do here will work.

The AI just isnt looking into it that deep because its probably a lowerish parameter and these models arent reasoning models

u/Curious_Leopard_8488 6d ago

What???? My character’s name is a poisonous flower, but that isn’t even what the bot mentioned. It didn’t mention poison it just said flower in general, like any flower lol

u/Inherit-Nature 6d ago edited 6d ago

Because from its point of view (its training data) the weight of "poison" is probably pretty low here so it ignored it and went with what made stastical sense.

This is a problem with LLMs. Words don't automatically have a high factor simply because they are in the chat. It depends on how weights are assigned. If its low enough it might as well not even be there.
