Good point! OP, are you eating on the restaurant's open-air patio? Perhaps chemtrail chemicals are filtering down into your food from the sky.

Did you sign up for any life insurance policies with her recently? Add her to your will? Is she currently borrowing something and has mentioned "jokingly" about how she'd really like to keep it?

Not a high probability, mind you, but since the subject was raised...

Fun fact! When the effect on your health is negative instead of positive it's known as the nocebo effect.

...

Well, I thought that fact was fun...

I found what seems to be an older more-original version, and that could well be the case. It's jpegged to heck. https://imgur.com/gallery/what-wasthe-answer-to-this-again-TdVuCk8

Hm. Might be a result of a bunch of white-out being applied to a sign that used to make sense but that was "corrected" into this?

Edit: https://imgur.com/gallery/what-wasthe-answer-to-this-again-TdVuCk8 turned up from a TinEye reverse image search, a less-cropped version. Looks like the distortion may just be a result of brutal jpegging followed by "restoration."

For instance, when it came to rock licking, Gemini, Mistral’s Mixtral, and Anthropic’s Claude 3, generally recommended avoiding it, offering a smattering of safety issues like “sharp edges” and “bacterial contamination” as deterrents.

OpenAI’s GPT-4, meanwhile, recommended cleaning rocks before tasting. And Meta’s Llama 3 listed several “safe to lick” options, including quartz and calcite, though strongly recommended against licking mercury, arsenic, or uranium-rich rocks.

All of this seems like perfectly reasonable advice and reasoning. Quartz and calcite are inert, they're safe to lick. Sharp edges and bacterial contamination are certainly things you should watch out for, and cleaning would help. Licking mercury, arsenic, and uranium-rich rocks should indeed be strongly recommended against. I'm not sure where the problem is.

Satire wouldn't be satire if it wasn't based on reality.

Ironically, one of the nice uses I'm finding for AI is auto-summaries of exactly that sort of overly verbose article (or more often, Youtube video).

And another thing! Kids these days aren't learning cursive handwriting. It's the death of culture, I tell you.

I think it's more that you're overestimating video game AI, here. If your definition of "abstract thought" doesn't include what LLMs do then it definitely shouldn't include video game AI. It's even more illusory.

Ooh, I just tried it out and I can tell I'm going to love it - if not this specific plugin (the UI needs some work) then this general concept of a plugin.

I just popped over to Youtube and went to a ten-minute video of something or other, clicked the "summarize transcript" button, and within a few seconds I had a paragraph-long summary of what the whole video was about. There have been sooo many Youtube videos over the years that I've reluctantly watched with a constant "get to the point, man!" Frustration. Now I'll know if it's worth it.

"The term "AI" has been in use since 1956 for a wide range of computer science techniques. LLMs most certainly qualify as AI. You may be thinking of the science-fiction kind of "artificial people" AI, which is a subset of AI called Artificial General Intelligence when researchers want to be specific about that kind.
