halferect , in Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk

Worked in restaurants for decades and never had a place not have milk available. It's used in lots of recipes and a lot of the places had Lil cartons for kids, also every drink was available "virgin" if you wanted a cocktail without booze, or we would have apple juice, orange juice, etc. I have never seen a restaurant that does not have a wide selection of non alcoholic drinks. Do you want them to list Arnold Palmers or are you asking for every type of non alcoholic seltzers or non alcoholic ciders or non alcoholic beers? Most restaurants have one or two but the non drunks don't drink 6 non alcoholic beers so it's just not worth the cost and room of keeping a large amount of non alcoholic pre made drinks. So stop complaining and have a water like a real man

I am convinced they use the data from that for AI training

You mean captchas? Sure, that's an old hat, they've been doing that for a decade now.

This is one of those newer systems though that doesn't rely on a captcha, it's just a checkbox you have to click that says "I'm human" next to it, and it does some JavaScript magic or whatever to figure out if it's true. Not really sure how it works TBH.

What else than a bot ever asks you to verify you're human?

That's actually really cool that they do that. Reduces the ability of people to scam because they cannot pick intentionally-similar usernames.

umbraroze , in Seriously, Wikibooks?

In Wikimedia projects (and MediaWiki systems in general) you actually have to pay attention to other people's usernames (when working with histories and in article discussions), and at least in Wikipedia long long time ago there was a lot of trolling/vandalism where people impersonated other users (particularly the admins) and made bunch of sockpuppets with tiny variations in names when they got banned. So this rule makes sense.

Ha, that username is apparently not allowed. They require that a username contain at least one letter.

That error message is pretty bad, characters does not mean letters.

S318008 it is then.

trxxruraxvr , in Seriously, Wikibooks?

They are taking measures to ensure its not too easy to impersonate other users. Seems like a good idea to me.

Kalcifer OP ,
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

That certainly does seem to be their goal, but, imo, it's a bit extreme — especially given the context.

Ashiette ,

Which context ?

Kalcifer OP ,
@Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Just the environment where the impersonations are theorized to take place — given the type of people who likely use the service, the ways people interract on the site, what the site is used for... imo, it seems unlikely that changing an "a" to a "4" is going to result in a damaging impersonation.

It's a nigligible inconvenience for a significant increase in security. This sort of situation has happened before where different numbers and symbols are used to pass off as other users in online communities.

It’s a nigligible inconvenience

This community is called Mildly Infruating, after all 😜

kratoz29 ,

I think you mildly infuriated some users here.

And nigligible didn't? You just got wooshed.

Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.

You wouldn't want anyone to pretend they're you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.

I'm absolutely sick of corporate astroturfing. That's why I use Crelm toothpaste, with the miracle indredient Frauduline.

Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.

If it's to any help to you or anyone else, you can now use DuckDuckGo AI chat, as a privacy layer. However it only has support for GPT 3.5 turbo.

MacNCheezus OP ,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

At the current state of AI proliferation, you can literally enter you prompt into the product assistant chatbox on Amazon and get the same result you'd get from their web app.

I even remember a post a few months ago where someone did this to the chatbot on a car dealership's website. Apparently, they currently don't have any input filters (which would likely require yet another layer of AI to avoid making it overly restrictive), they just hook those things up straight to the main pipe and off you go.

Technically a good point, but we’re talking natural language here, and the goal would be to restrict the discussion to only a particular domain, not predict whether an outcome can be achieved or not.

Rhynoplaz , in Corporate astroturfing is the norm

"This one has good reviews."

"Wait a minute, How good?"

Audacious , in Corporate astroturfing is the norm

I see this on all platforms, even steam. Only the negative reviews are culled and labelled 'review bombing' by the corpos.

horsey , in Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk

There’s the trend of restaurants having “mocktails”, which is cool, but they often charge for them based on their price for alcoholic beverages. I don’t really want a special lemonade for $14.

DriftinGrifter ,

be me: go to restaurant
=> ouch ouch why is everything overpriced =<
lol kek its 1 am and im drunk rn but the alcohol in coctails is not worth nearly 14 bucks you bellend
