I asked Chat-GPT aboout Elon's salute, just for fun, and it replied it could not analyse pictures and I needed to describe it to him. I had pictures analysed before, even traslating and explaining a cartoon joke. I tought it could be caused by the .webp format. So I retried the joke image and it worked fine. I uploaded a png of Elon and it went wrong. Can others repeat the experience or was it just a fluke? I am not angry just let down a little.

fwiw i tried the same thing a few hours after the photo came out and it told me the photo must be fake and i need to be careful about misinformation

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 78 points 5 months ago (3 children)

To be fair....based on it knowing who it is, and what he's doing, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes it doesn't sound plausible. Like if you heard that there was nazi salutes being done at the official presidential inauguration, you'd think "ah, this guys exaggerating. He probably made a small gesture that's being taken out of context"

Except no. He full on did a nazi salute. Enthusiastically at that. And then he thought "Oh, my bad, the people in the back probably couldn't see that. LET ME DO ANOTHER NAZI SALUTE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK BEHIND ME!"

And he did it A SECOND time!

It's not chatGPTs fault it's unable to discern absurdity from reality at this point. You can't blame the program for what life has become. I fully expect The Onion to publish an article over the next 4 years that just says "We give up. Fuck it. We can't make up crazier shit than NPR at this rate."

I am so glad I watched the video. Seeing his arm in motion really drives it home. (Skip ahead about 17 seconds to spare yourself the agony of hearing his voice.)

Talking about his “heart” was obviously only included as an incredibly weak attempt at an excuse for the salute. I’m sure there are apologists out there who have lapped it up, though.

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 13 points 5 months ago

Actual Nazi Nick Fuentes is on video saying "that is a genuine, bonafide Roman Salute" (paraphrasing)

Saw that on The Humanist Report's coverage of it today, who, jokingly, tried giving Musk as much "benefit of the doubt" or "leeway" as he could, while citing sources like Fuentes.

Musk is a card carrying Nazi, same as the rest.

Like my dad

No response after that obviously. It would break his brain to accept this is happening.

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sending soyjacks to your father is a choice.

Not necessarily a bad choice just not one I’d make.

Always interesting to see the American boomer perspective from the front lines.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Meh I get that and it's not something I make a habit of, but it communicates the point well. A thousand words and all that.

[–] GeoGio7@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No offense but you're kind of cringey. Your dad is an idiot but so are you

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

No offense but your opinion means nothing to me.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Oh, I've seen the appologists here on Lemmy hours after he did it. I downvoted them and told them to fuck off.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

He didn't just do another Nazi salute, he did it at the fucking flag.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was this guy. People on here were calling the party of Trump nazis. (I'm not US and keep forgetting the names of you parties) I thought they were being stupidly accelerating. Now I'm convinced. The nazis themselves convinced me. Problem is that them publicly doing nazi stuff will not change anything. They could hang brown people in the capitol and it would change nothing.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They are fascists not Nazis. They are not trying to create an ubermench or a 1000 year reich. All nazis are fascists but not all fascists are nazis.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 5 months ago

Nazi is short for National Socialist.
These people are Billionaire Socialists, we should call them Bizis.

Nothing and Noone has ever gaslit me more than AI's. Seriously.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it also offered me to analyse it for fake, but refused to look at it otherwise, it disapeared the whole conversation after the warning you see on my post. Could be because I had reached the GPT-4 limit for the day, but I dont remember having conversation disapear from the list.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 months ago

Interesting. I might try it tomorrow and see if it gives me the same answer as you got or something completely different. Maybe more users asking about it will change the output, or maybe they already have the guardrails set.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

thx, You seem to have gotten an answer, I cant read the text or enlarge it can you paste it here?

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Yes thank you. Personaly I did not give it any context or name when i uploaded the picture, just asked something along the line of ' please describe this picture '. I wanted to see what it would pick on. Expecting a very neutral description, like politician saluting a crowd, with maybe a warning that the pose could potentialy be misleading or controversial.
