Missing 2023: The Hilarious and Absurd Logic of Early LLMs
EvrienceRick · reddit · 2026-08-03
As LLMs rapidly evolve and become smarter, they've lost the quirky, hilarious traits of their early days. A user reminisced about testing the logic of early AIs (like Google Bard and ChatGPT 3.5) back in 2023, sharing funny conversation screenshots.
The author notes that older models would confidently spout nonsense or give absurd answers. In contrast, modern models like Gemini and GPT-4 are too smart and polite, often just humoring the user, which takes away the fun of bizarre interactions like asking if 'the moth is still around.'
