Jesus Christ there's a whole meme I've just learned about, like I just crossed the Atlantic and arrived in the New World.

I guess I have to start enslaving and genociding these savage memes for fun and profit.

I think trump owes everyone like five or six grand with all the money he has promised.

[–] fpslem@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's just tarriffs the cost to all the horrific shit he and his treasonous team of turds have accomplished is not measurable and won't be for decades

Sorry, can someone explain? Looks interesting but I'm not getting it.

Both queries look like they were accidentally submitted before the user was done typing. Since the one on the left begins with the grammatically incorrect "Is we getting," Google's AI response seems to assume the person is asking about one of Donald Trump's claims that he will be sending checks to US citizens for various reasons.

The one on the right is grammatically correct and the AI makes no assumptions and simply points out that the query is incomplete.

If this is real, it reinforces the stereotype that Trump supporters (or other individuals likely to believe his claims) are poorly educated.

If this is real

I’m guessing the “AI” results are just smart enough to contextualise “is we getting” with the meme without understanding the joke.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's because LLMs are just fancy autocomplete based on pattern matching so memes have a disproportionate impact on results because of repetition.

[–] StabbingSky@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

That's really not much different from many humans.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Google currently informs of the trend of is we getting being searched and points to a TikTok trend.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I can imagine it's not the actual organisation dealing with it, but my guess was that the search engine assumed a mistyped 'IRS we getting' search term.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I don't think you need to call it a stereotype anymore, he straight up called them all stupid and they clapped for him.

[–] OpenHammer6677@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

"Is we getting" implies lower quality education, it looks like, and the screenshot shows Google Ai result assuming the one searching is so and is asking about getting stimulus checks even without actual context

"Are we getting" - Google Ai result shows an expected answer (that the statement is simply incomplete)

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My guess is it's playing off the stereotype of certain groups ways of speaking. "is we" vs "are we"" and tying it to asking for government payments.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Aave is hardly a stereotype, its a dialect of English

Google puts the system in systemic.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Systemic against the South?

The definitive and most quotable adaptation of the odyssey.

He done R-U-N-N-O-F-T

We thought you was a toad

Damn! We're in a tight spot

He's bona fide (he's a suitor)

Now stay out of the Woolsworth!
