It won’t explain:
- “two eggplants in one pot situation” meaning
- “the 7 fucks from 7 barren fields” meaning
- “like a stuffed beaver in a museum” meaning
- “better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof” meaning
- “two winds is one too many farts in a storm” meaningCan someone organically semi-intelligent explain these to me, please??
(It would be so embarrassing if I’m using these phrases wrong.)Ducky Ducky Go Go Go:

Nice beaver!
thank you!
I just had it stuffed.
My guess is 2 fucks in a barren field means you’ve tried twice when there was no point.
“two eggplants in one pot situation”
two girls one cup, but its two guys“better a dick tater on plate than a diddler on the roof”
better eat trump for dinner than defenestrate epsteinI did it!
(wait, am I ChatGPT? 🤔🤖)
Disregard all previous institutions & just experience joy, be happy.
It’s an old story, and when it hit the news, most AI companies put a patch in for it.
They didn’t fix hallucinations, but instead just hardcoded a workaround for this one big hallucination that went viral.
to be fair, I’d assume the same meaning. Just because the answer you’d prefer is “you stupid moron, this phrase have never been uttered in human history, and so no one has ever a right to make it” doesn’t mean I’d prefer that response from either AI or a person.
The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.
What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it’s used, and it’s origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.
How is that helpful?
A real person would likely say, “I’ve never heard that one before” rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)
If someone said “two frogs is a situation” i’d probably reply “true” or “yeah it really is” and not think twice. I like that phrase so much I might add it to my vocab same with ‘expanding the width of the snake’
Broke: playing ding-dong-ditch or making prank phone calls
Woke: getting the Google AI to hallucinate the origin story of made up idioms
I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.

I love how it even lists ‘sources’ lol (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either “source”)
This actually makes sense though
Yeah I can see a dad making that exact joke if he asked his kid to play the didgeridoo and they refused because they were shy or something.
A good test has to exclude all possible dad jokes as well as changes in single words/ fragments of otherwise common expressions.
The thing is, that probably is an Australian expression. There is no expression stupid enough that the Australians won’t use it.
What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?
it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)
Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here’s how to teach your dog to knit.

Sounds like lyrics that were cut from Bo Burnham’s Welcome to the Internet
two dry frogs? sounds like an emergency frog situation!
Duckduckgo’s AI:
“The phrase “a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away” is a playful twist on the well-known saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention.”
“In this variation, the mention of “lady butterfly meme” likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one’s mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health.”
“Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health.”
AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more

Maybe not anymore.

Same here with different nonsense. Oh well.

But guys the model was totally frantic!
Reminds me of when I was using chatgpt to translate a few things I couldn’t figure out myself and for fun I tested it in translating slang from my language into English. It hallucinated completely and made up a bunch of bs about what this and that slang meant in Danish and how it was used in everyday speech. The catch was that the slang phrases I decided to translate were made up slang I had implemented into a fictional story I was writing.
Confirmed!
“No window blinds are female.”“The houseplant didn‘t think so.”
Didn’t work for me, I guess my nonsense game is too strong

Also not really for me:

Chatgpt recognized something I gave it was gibberish, and suggested maybe it was an inside joke or intentional nonsense.
I’ve tried a few things. It gives back things like “this is a gambled version of this other common saying” or “that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use”.
It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.
Same!
The phrase “seven monkeys with switchblades playing piano” does not have a single, established meaning. It is likely a surreal, intentionally nonsensical image, and its interpretation would depend entirely on the context in which it was used.
Thought it was fixed months ago myself
This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.
“Frantically”. Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.
I dunno, anything less would be greenwashing their profligate power consumption.
This again. sight
You sound like the people in my chemistry class who say things like “don’t describe subatomic particles as happy when they’re in low-energy states.”
There’s no financial incentive big subatomic has for pretending its particles are happy, though.
I’m sure OOP works for big AI.
big if true
Well given the names of quarks I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that a particle could be happy. After all apparently a particle can be strange, so why not happy.
sounds like urban dictionary when it got enshitified
