Male creator talking directly into his smartphone, gesturing with hands, sitting in an ambiently lit room with wood trim and ceiling lamps visible behind him.If you want to know how little AI knows about you, I want you to ask it to make you a Barbie box. Like, showing you, doesn't matter what gender you are, make a Barbie box showing you with all of your assets and all of your little cute, uh, accessories. Your family, your dog. Uh, yeah, it got my dog wrong. It got the dog wrong. It did not have a Corgi, which is like I everyone knows I have a Corgi. Uh, and and they got it wrong. And so this is actually a wonderful example of where it remembers things and where it doesn't. You will see the recency bias. It picked up something from today. So Mistral dropped a model today called Le Chaton Fat. It's the fat cat. It's Le Chunk. It's great. We memed it into existence, loved it. Made my day. And it decided to name my dog Le Chaton Fat. That is recency bias. That is not memory. That is not a good application. That is not AGI. So if you wanna see AI have a little bit of fun, ask it to make a Barbie box and let me know what it looks like in the comments. Maybe upload in the comments so we can have some visual fun in the comments. It will be fun. Oh yeah, I can show mine too. Alright, cheers.AI Hack: Ask AI To Make Your Barbie Box
