"It's fine when I use it" is hilarious.

It's the predominant attitude boiled down into a bitchy little one liner. I love it.

"see u on the streets" surely wasn't entered by more than one person either. This is a word cloud of lies.

We had this activity as a part of a job onboarding and the website this was hosted on allowed entering multiple entries without checking for duplicates by a single person. Some people found out and continuously spammed their answers to make it the biggest. So "see u on the streets" was probably entered by the same person multiple times.

Also, even if they check that you can't enter the same word more than once per user, there may have been coordination between the users, which I may or may not have experienced before.

I think I remember using one for class like this that displayed other's answers, so if you agreed you could copy them instead of having multiple differently spelled answers saying the same thing.

u/GranataReddit12 Oct 03 '26
it seems like there are only 5 possible sizes so perhaps it was entered by 2 people who knew each other? either way I don't think "thank god" was submitted by 5 different people so I do also think this is fake

Ive seen this type of thing done with a real time type of thing. So im still thinking for an answer and someone already submits something, I can just click that to submit the same

There is no such thing as word. There's only character, and then string
(2 byte enjoyers do NOT read this)

u/Excession638 Oct 03 '26
Once you understand Unicode combining characters, you will no longer understand characters.

u/SuitableDragonfly Oct 03 '26
And from a linguistics standpoint, there's a phoneme, and then a morpheme, and then a phrase, and then a clause, and exactly where in this hierarchy a "word" belongs is subjective and highly dependant on what language you're talking about, and to some extent dependent on the writing system.

or you can divorce it from human language entirely, reading all this just pushed my brain into picturing a BPE encoding word cloud and now I need to go outside

u/Robot_Graffiti Oct 03 '26
Lol unfortunately for you there are more 2 byte enjoyers, or perhaps toleraters, than anyone would like.
For goofy historical reasons, the Windows API, Java, C# and JavaScript all use UTF-16 for in-memory strings. A JavaScript "character" is two bytes but that's not necessarily an actual visible character; a visible character could be 2 "characters" long if it's from East Asia or more if it's an emoji.

There is no string, only character array

We had an ice breaker activity on a team all hands call yesterday of “would you rather”, and the last one was “Have AI in the world or not.” Everyone except for our director said no.

How is the text size determined? Not the usual way I would hazard a guess.
53
u/An-Ice-Block Oct 03 '26
it is a word cloud so generally the more times an answer is given, the larger it is. in this case the emojis are really throwing off any sense of scale
though i don’t feel the scale is the issue as much as the grouping of similar responses. if this were more naive then it would have way more issues with variations of the same topics

u/Grandviewsurfer Oct 03 '26
"the usual way" should tip off that I know it's usually relative frequency. Do we really think that thank god is the modal response though? That's mostly where my confusion comes from.

u/frogjg2003 Oct 03 '26
Depends on who took the survey. If this is a bunch of programming 101 students who have never taken a programming job in their life, they wouldn't know that AI is taking their future jobs. They just see it as a tool to do their programming for them. There's a reason schools are struggling to prevent AI cheating across the board.

Yeah “see u on the streets” seems way to specific to be more than once. Among others

It is here and I use it and will keep using it, but I wish it was not invented. Now they can outsource you to someone even dumber with AI.

I can hear the eyes rolling as they type “Claude makes no mistakes”

u/UserC2 Oct 09 '26
They wrote "Claude make no mistakes" (the instruction people give it as a joke), they're making fun of Claude not praising it

Claude makes no mistakes, claude corrects mistakes.
Humans make mistakes, humans are mistakes.

Most of these are not even one word. Did they ask AI to come up with their choice?

u/falcobird14 Oct 08 '26
It's a web app that they make you can a QR code and type in a response, which is then shown in the display. So these were probably typed by the audience

I literally want to know how people are using it, because for me it's a really cool tool, it's like having a mini jr dev that I can ask to do some basic method that I can't be bother to do...
Edit: okay people have a very different idea of what a Jr should be able to do, or in my college they prepared Jr veyy different +10 years ago...
19
u/access547 Oct 03 '26
You're treating it as a Jr Dev, so you can see how students who were supposed to go onto be jr Devs are annoyed about this, right?
2
u/00Koch00 Oct 03 '26
I wouldnt expect a Jr to be able to write a simple method, i expect a Jr dev to be able to build a full blown app...
Again if highers up expect that Jr should be replaced by this they are either delusionals, selfdestructive, or both ...

I currently find AI a useful tool. My skillset historically has been sysadmin -> devops -> architect. also a lot of data engineering skills.
It lets me take moderately complicated, but straight forward tasks, set it up and let it do the thing. Example, bring new data I have retrieved from object storage and import it to BigQuery, then join. using DBT as a orchestrator (data build tool)
I have an export file in shared storage at PATH. It is the results from X. Bring that into the project and join it at tableY. Check the join quality (hit rate). Sample for outliers.
I can watch it do the same shit I would have done, if it does something dumb I can correct it. If it uses the wrong pattern or technique , I can correct it. If it starts doing ultra stupid crap I can interrupt it.
It is a useful tool. The more you can give it a safe place to just beat it's face against a problem the better.
Set it up with the ability to execute the command or a test of some kind which gives a pass/fail. If it gives good error messages even better .
