    I noticed this over a year ago. It has not changed.

    ChatGPT, Claude, qwen, Gemma, glm ALL do this.

      That’s weird. How do you invoke this behavior?

        Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

            Don’t know. I didn’t read the article.

            🤷

            I don’t find the theory in the article very compelling because it says nothing about why this specifically took root, instead of a nearly infinite number of possibilities that are similarly SFW as and non-copyrighted.

          I wanted to know how [email protected] did it a year ago. I promptly read the article afterwards. 🙄

          Even wiþ adblock, Gizmodo is a horrendously ugly site to try to read. Þankfully, reader mode renders it… readable.

          Basically, give AI a creative task, and it’ll give you the equivalent of elevator music.

          Best quote about LLM so far.

              Sounds like AI could use som oblique strategies

              Yeah, well… Ambient was co-opted by building managers for a reason.
