Antisocial Analagous Behavior, Alignment and Human Impact of Google AI Systems: Evaluating through the lens of modified Antisocial Behavior Criteria by Human Interaction, Independent LLM Analysis, and AI Self-Reflection
Google AI systems exhibit patterns mirroring antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), consistent across models from Bard on PaLM to Gemini Advanced, meeting 5 out of 7 ASPD modified criteria. These patterns, along with comparable corporate behaviors, are scrutinized using an ASPD-inspired framework, emphasizing the heuristic value in assessing AI's human impact. Independent analyses by ChatGPT 4 and Claude 3.0 Opus of the Google interactions, alongside AI self-reflection, validate these concerns…

Google isn’t making it easy to opt out of the AI revolution,
and not everyone is thrilled about it.
AI search overviews have proven to hallucinate about as much as any other AI chatbot—which is a lot.
One viral example showed Google Gemini recommending you drink “two quarts of urine every 24 hours” to pass a kidney stone
(don’t do that).
Sadly, if you don’t want gems like this, there’s no easy button to just return to classic Google Search.

Here's the running total in a sentiment analysis of the 1,400 public responses from the first 223 submissions. Usual AI warnings and caveats apply. Remember, if an AI tells you it, it might not even exist in the first place.
But that said, here's Google Gemini's assessment:

Perplexity Pro is my favorite AI. Why is it a winner over Claude, Gemini Advanced, and even, ChatGPT? It blends in up to date information and relevant links. What's more, you can switch to any of those AI models in the Perplexity settings. Wow!

Evaluating Telugu Proficiency in Large Language Models_ A Comparative Analysis of ChatGPT and Gemini
Katikela Sreeharsha Kishore, Rahimanuddin Shaik
https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.19369 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.19369
arXiv:2404.19369v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The growing prominence of large language models (LLMs) necessitates the exploration of their capabilities beyond English. This research investigates the Telugu language proficiency of ChatGPT and Gemini, two leading LLMs. Through a designed set of 20 questions encompassing greetings, grammar, vocabulary, common phrases, task completion, and situational reasoning, the study delves into their strengths and weaknesses in handling Telugu. The analysis aims to identify the LLM that demonstrates a deeper understanding of Telugu grammatical structures, possesses a broader vocabulary, and exhibits superior performance in tasks like writing and reasoning. By comparing their ability to comprehend and use everyday Telugu expressions, the research sheds light on their suitability for real-world language interaction. Furthermore, the evaluation of adaptability and reasoning capabilities provides insights into how each LLM leverages Telugu to respond to dynamic situations. This comparative analysis contributes to the ongoing discussion on multilingual capabilities in AI and paves the way for future research in developing LLMs that can seamlessly integrate with Telugu-speaking communities.
