WTF that is a whole load of baloney, it’s hilarious. Also a good reminder for us who lean left to remember to be critical when discussing such things too.

Say what you will, I need myself a racially diverse tetris now. We should all aspire to be L shaped block.

It’s so hard to even make fun of that without sounding like I’m on the extreme right, but I am CACKLING

@Helldiver_M That reads exactly like a typical dumb shit Kotaku article. No wonder, because it was trained from human data. I don’t know what’s more shocking, that our News outlets by human is so bad we think a robot wrote it, or if the AI is that good that we think a human wrote it. Both perspectives are frightening.

Video game journalism has been crappy for a long, loooong time. You ever read pre-Ziff Davis EGM or GamePro? It’s like a lobotomy in print form.

Yet, there always has been a good journalism, either very quality reviews describing well the game in question, or very funny articles making fun of a game that is otherwise boring or bad.

Yo I loved EGM back in the N64 era and I’m pretty sure that was Ziff Davis. Then again maybe I was lobotomized with a magazine.

That’s hilarious, and about on par with most of the writing on so-called journalism sites these days. Glorious!

Why is every point marked ‘1.’ lol

It’s the training data. Every list the bot has ever seen has had the number 1 in it. All other numbers come up less than that.

The bot also has no memory of what it wrote before, and no clue what it will write next. It simply guesses what the next word will be based on what the last word was.

Another failure of these bots, they’re Pre-Trained. It’s the “p” in the name. So anything they generate will be based on the training data, with no changes to the algorithm based on interacting with users. You can “convince” the bot of anything and the second you close that browser window, the bot basically resets to factory defaults.

Maybe it’s trying to use markdown to create a numbered list, in many flavours of markdown that would do it.

Probably botched Markdown formatting. Ordered Markdown lists will automatically be ordered properly, so starting each point with ‘1.’ doesn’t matter.

I also think it’s botched Markdown but from the opposite perspective. When you have many points that end up parsed as several separate 1-item lists, you can write 1. 2. 3. and it will make it 1. 1. 1. since each list only has one point.

Lmao it’s awesome, I haven’t read Kotaku in ages, so I don’t know if it sounds Kotaku-y enough, but holy damn I can totally imagine a human nutjob writing that shit

This sounds exactly like something Kotaku would write:

One of the key criticisms leveled at Tetris is the lack of diversity in its visual representation. The game predominantly features blocks of different shapes and colors, but the absence of any explicitly diverse or racially inclusive elements raises questions. In a world that is culturally diverse, the omission of representation within the game can be seen as a missed opportunity to promote inclusivity.
