These are becoming absurd. Like what the fuck is the benefit of this training data? Now the Gemini can statistically generate new ways to euphemistically refer to poor people?
Or Amazon scraping the “data” out of Twitch streams. I barely see the appeal of watching someone elese play a game. I mean, at least they’re a real person I can conceivably pester with chat messages. Why would I watch a fake person play a game that doesn’t exist?
Just one more data source, bro! Trust me, if we just train our models on more bankrupt airlines it brings us so much closer to actual artificial intelligence!
