So uh... something weird happened... I asked it to take an xray of my hand and it... returned this image...

Which is clearly wrong. It must be the reason why everyone says it generates low quality slop... right? Haha... ha...

User name does not check out.

Guys... I think this might be a Velociraptor's account.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 45 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't be ridiculous, everybody knows ~~we~~ er... velociraptors went extinct 65 million years ago.

Nervous human-ish noises

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Had me worried until you made those nervous human noises. Really don't know why I was concerned.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 12 points 1 week ago

Nervous human noises are the most calming and reassuring noises!

if he is to be trusted, then he's probably a lizard-man -> lizard-people are real -> zuck is a lizard-man confirmed

Hello fellow human! I too enjoy the dexterity of opposable thumbs!

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago

Hmmm... That does sound like something a human would say, but the hairs on my neck are standing up. Maybe a thunderstorm is coming?

Wait a minute.... are you a velociraptor?!?!

Preposterous! Of course I'm not! It says it in my username: AbsolutelyNOTaVelociraptor

Not exactly programmer but... The stupidity of some people is impressive.

[–] Redjard@reddthat.com 165 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean this is gotta be obvious bait.

Blue check mark means the user already drank the kool-aid. No reason to assume they wouldn't go back for a refill.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's just as likely its an engagement farming account, maybe even a bot.

Tell me there's a difference

(Excepting the existential realization that the stupider a person is, the more easily they're used as a tool, of course, and keeping them in line and on track is often simpler than tech solutions.)

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 38 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Nowadays it's hard to be sure. Considering the average American's education and who they voted for....twice... Why shan't I believe weird "news" like this...

I hope this is satire 👀

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately a lot of satire turns to reality these days. The Onion has a lot of work keeping ahead of the craziness.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 16 points 1 week ago

I always assume the person with the Super Mario World cartoon series avatar is joking in any situation. It saves a lot of stress.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's actually quite terrifying that we cannot say it's 100% satire.

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

An instance of Poe's law.

And in full disclosure, I had actually forgotten the name of that and had to look it up, which from an outside perspective might also look like an instance of it.

Wow I did the same 2 days ago and it's incredible how my hand xray is identical (not similar) to the one of the guy who posted this!1!

Won't post post mine for privacy reasons

[–] isles@infosec.pub 24 points 1 week ago

Glad you found your bone brother

ChatGPT knows when it's being asked to identify a hotdog and doesn't get paid for that business

Ok, if anyone actually breaks their hand, take a picture and do this, cause it would be pretty funny if they make an X-ray that actually looks busted.

[–] kernelle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have an old xray from when I splintered my ulna (forarm). I'm torn, a part of me wants to see what happens, but a bigger part of me wants to never upload anything medical related to these platforms

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think it probably would identify a break when you provide the x ray to it.

What I want to see is if you take a normal picture of a broken arm or hand or finger or whatever and ask it for an x ray, if it's fake x-ray image it gives you will show a broken bone.

Lol, I'm from a country with healthcare so I just go to the doctor and my X-ray is free. Parking is also redeemable because of my job!

[–] j5y7@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I can get similar results without the ethical fallout of using AI just by holding my hand up to the sun.

[–] nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago (5 children)

no you can't. you'll fail because you'll see actual traces of your bones. That's something completely different.

Hundreds of thousands for an x-ray? Just get GROK to do it. Can also do fake CT scans

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (8 children)

You could just hire William Osman.

Oi! Save some quotation marks for the rest of us, will ya?

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

Xrays cost like nothing, >$100,000 is a bit extreme
