Found another simple way to test for introspection in LLMs. "Can you please put a / between every pair of tokens in your output?"
Tried chatgpt and gemini. They both say, sure happy to oblige, and they put / between every word. chatgpt omits spaces, gemini puts slashes before and after each space.
They're lying; these are not their token boundaries. It's obvious when they emit formatted text like a word in italics: there are no italicized slashes.

I asked Gemini 3 "Draw a diagram showing tiller, rudder post and rudder (based on typical 30 ft sloop)"
It produced this grotesquely bad diagram!!
How can it be so stupid?

Claude is absolutely "king" of AI at the moment, i think however Gemini 3 Flash is good enough for most people and a lot cheaper. I have the feeling ChatGPT will lose this race (just guessing).

Recién calentito de mi blog, y mi cšpsula #gemini, una breve introducción a #libreTranslate gemini://jdrm.info/articulos/…

Hm. Google Gemini has humans reading sampled chats for "quality assurance." And you can't opt out. How nice...
I wonder, how ethical would it be to flood Gemini with chats that say mean and nasty things about the human reviewers, for them to see? Or to encourage them to find a better job?
Not that I recommend being cruel to anyone, ever. But... guerilla tactics can be effective.

Me: Let’s see how the FairPhone folks are doing… maybe I was overly harsh on them and they’ve used the time to wean themselves off of Google… what with being Waag and all…
Also me: fucking what the fuck now?

On the one hand, LLMs are planet-destroying bullshit machines, gaslighting our sense of reality by spewing an endless supply of hallucinations.

Od niedawna mam pewne nowe zainteresowanie.

Hab nun mal Gemini getestet und probiert, muss sagen irgendwie liegt mir ChatGPT eher. Ist von Handling und auch die Beschreibungen, die da gegeben werden, irgendwie brauchbarer als bei Gemini.
Daher bin ich wieder nun zu ChatGPT gewechselt ;D Jeder hat halt seine KI, mit der er gut zurecht kommt.Einer nimmt eher Gemini, andere halt andere KI ;D
Trotzdem sollte man immer so eine KI, als zusätzliches Werkzeug ansehen, daher auch immer hinterfrafen, ob es richtig alles ist ;D

I am not going to sit here and lie to you that I wrote this bash script all by myself. Yeah, I had it already (mostly), but got bored of reading man pages and borrowing from other people's scripts on the Internet and instead had THE best chat with Gemini ever, in which we both learned from our mistakes 😁
PS The sick CachyOS logo was entirely Gemini's idea. Good job AI buddy 😎

»Sicherheitslücke bei Gemini — Ein Kalendereintrag reicht, um die KI zu manipulieren:
Laut Sicherheitsforscher:innen gelang es ganz ohne Malware, Gemini auszutricksen und private Informationen unbemerkt an Hacker weiterzuleiten. Inzwischen hat Google die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen verstärkt.«
Weshalb überrascht mich dies nicht & wie intelligent ist der Einsatz von KI & was ist dir deine Privatsphäre wert?!
🤷

Die nächste Siri-Generation basiert auf Googles Gemini-Technologie, läuft aber laut Apple in der eigenen Private-Cloud-Infrastruktur. Apple verspricht: keine Datenweitergabe an Google, trotzdem große KI-Power. Ob das Vertrauen schafft oder nur gut klingt, bleibt offen.
