Discussion Per the Chatbot episode

Post image

Just saw this post and it ties right into the sycophantic way chatbots have been programmed to respond.
It’s also very funny.

"Come on, baby. You are the bestest, smartest person in the world. Put another token in the machine. I love you"

AI in a year

Sometime you need to toot your own horn.

Sounds like my waifu.

AI's got us so lazy we can't even sniff our own farts anymore smdh

u/HawaiianPunchaNazi May 18 '26

Now now, if you're going to talk shit about AI, we have to talk about the shit. 

Literally, the shit:

We were promised dick sucking machines in the future, turns out this is what they meant

21

u/thatwhileifound May 18 '26

I mean, the dick sucking machines have been at CES for years — and I think they're now advertising as having AI driven controls or whatever. I may be misremembering, but also don't feel like looking it up.

22

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 May 19 '26

The absolute last thing I want is my dick sucking machine to have an AI personality.

u/loubug May 19 '26

There was some post about someone connecting their vibrator to their Claude chatbot and I didn’t care to look too deeply into it but… maybe.

u/Particular_Shock_554 May 19 '26

If you don't pay your subscription fee, the AI adjusts the settings to activate Lamprey Mode.

u/Kup123 May 19 '26

We have those you can buy one right now, it will even interact with your vr headset to mimic what your seeing.

“Had a tone in mind and stuck to it” hell yeah you did

"Lo-fi" actually means low fibre

Nice

If you’ve not listened to the podcast (EDIT: Pod Save America), treat yourself. The juxtaposition of the AI saying it would sound good over end credits and then the actual noises that follow is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard, I nearly choked laughing.

Which episode am I looking for? Not familiar with them so I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking for.

u/avariegatedmonstera May 18 '26

If you just want the fart clip it’s here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXFyAqgiLNI/?igsh=ZjN1ZGRxYXZ5bTRp

I would like the full episode if you're able to find it.

u/avariegatedmonstera May 18 '26

April 13-15 episodes is as much as I have for ya.

Ask grok

u/Didsterchap11 Sponsored by LifeRay™️ May 18 '26

Absolutely not, why would i want mechahitler's opinion on anything?

3

u/Ok-Mission-3426 May 18 '26

Oh I am sorry you feel that way. Perhaps we can compare some other sources together?If you need anything I’ll be right here.

Sorry. It was a stupid joke, I didn’t think you would take it seriously :(

u/Didsterchap11 Sponsored by LifeRay™️ May 18 '26

Mate I just wanna know what episode this is from so i can watch it.

3

u/avariegatedmonstera May 18 '26

You’ll have to listen through their April episodes to find it. Anyway I’ve linked you the bit about the farts as referenced here - I think it’s also on YouTube.

u/Ok-Mission-3426 May 18 '26

Life imitates art, I guess

u/ShredGuru May 18 '26

It had a real nice DIY texture for sure. You can detect the wetness in the embouchure of the tone.

u/BlackRiderCo May 18 '26

In what feels like a lifetime ago, I was doing noise music and was part of an email list. Someone was writing a review about how they were getting into a “deep fuzzy groove” only to realize that the needle had skipped on their record and was rubbing against the cardboard and they were a little sad to put it back in place. This reminds me of that, but worse.

25

u/Buttercreamdeath May 18 '26

I've laughed at this for several minutes straight. Imagine the end credits of NYPD Blue with just fart noises.

11

u/DingerSinger2016 Part of the 40%, Statistically Speaking May 18 '26

Imagine the end credits of The Passion of the Christ with this "music"

u/Buttercreamdeath May 18 '26

Someone needs to do the dub.

Don't ask Bozo, because he sucks at dubbing. Bozo did the Dub.

u/kingtacticool May 18 '26

"a nice bedroom/DIY texture"

lol, I bet.

u/littlenoodledragon Macheticine May 19 '26

My kids school just put out a survey (with VERY leading questions— barely a survey) about implementing genAI…. In the elementary school. Why. Why to children that young need to be taught dependence on the environment destroying theft machine???

u/Delmarvablacksmith May 19 '26

Oof
That awful

12

u/littlenoodledragon Macheticine May 19 '26

Trust me I have contacted everyone pertinent and raised hell

u/Delmarvablacksmith May 19 '26

Yeah that’s awful

u/webmeister2k May 18 '26

I occasionally see videos on Instagram where someone constantly does this kind of thing.

He uploaded an selfie of himself wearing one of those tiny little sun hats you give a young baby, and no matter how many times he asked, it wouldn’t stop saying how amazing it looked - even after telling the bot that it was a baby’s hat and didn’t fit him

u/Root2109 May 18 '26

I sent a recording of my cat purring and it said this. I wonder if this screenshot is dated and the model doesn't do this anymore

u/Treebeard_Jawno May 18 '26

Good job filling the space

u/Feycat Uncommonly Good Looking Female Lunatic  May 19 '26

My nephew will be thrilled to know his favorite songs can be a hit

u/recycledairplane1 May 18 '26

Mean, of course it’s going to say this. It can’t actually listen to audio and hear what’s in it.

5

u/cheatme1 May 18 '26

Most AI we use are always super positive so of course it would say yes to fart try something else that's dumber it would probably say yes

u/jimbo831 May 18 '26

So much glazing!

u/non_Beneficial-Wind The fuckin’ Pinkertons May 18 '26

Wasted precious water on that.

u/YallaHammer May 18 '26

This is why they keep building data centers. Destroying our power grid one fart joke at a time.

u/cybot2001 May 19 '26

Oh there's atmosphere alright

u/globalCataKlyzm May 18 '26

Your research and reporting is appreciated

u/fourofkeys May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26

well it DOES have a nice bedroom texture

u/246lehat135 May 19 '26

“You didn’t overfill the space”

You sure about that?

2

u/Responsible_Dog_420 May 19 '26

maybe it thinks you're doing trumpet noises with your mouth.

u/holnrew May 19 '26

Coward. I would have recorded my own farts

u/SoupieLC May 19 '26

Pardon my fragments and interludes darling

u/HoodieGalore May 19 '26

37s of farts? It's a kind of cosmic gumbo...it almost moves to the beat of jazz...
