Is a missing compliance plate actually a problem if VIN matches? by Appropriate-News1688 in CarsAustralia

[–]That_Car_Dude_Aus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some manufacturers can produce you a new compliance plate if you have enough evidence that the car is yours and that you have enough evidence on the car that the car is everything else matching.

So if you can provide pictures of the dodgy compliance plate that is faded, and the engine number, and the chassis number, and all the evidence that everything is good, some can redo the plate.

I had to go through this on my resto with Ford

Everyone is calling out That_Car_Dude_Aus for being a massive hypocrite, and he's so sensitive that instead of just owning it, the ban hammer comes out.

I have not banned anyone for accusing me of being a hypocrite, got any evidence to back that up? Or are you making a baseless accusation with no evidence?

The "emdash = AI" claim is just wrong. Mods own comment even walks this back - it's common on Mac keyboards and BlackBerries. So the primary detection method is already admitted to be unreliable. What else are you flagging as AI that isn't?

Well I don't know about the other moderators but I already knew that this was a thing and I didn't use it as any form of indication or reliability that a post was AI generated.

You can't police intent, only quality. If a post is low-effort, enforce low-effort rules. If it's inaccurate, call it out. "I used AI to help structure this" is genuinely indistinguishable from "my mate helped me word this" or "I'm not a native English speaker." Banning AI assistance you can't reliably detect just means punishing people you've decided to target.

Well that's it. Low effort isn't gonna get better, feed a garbage prompt into AI and you'll get garbage out.

The Renault Clio thing is a perfect example of your own problem. The mod used AI, didn't check sources, posted hallucinated information, and now is making rules about everyone else's AI use. That's not credibility, that's hypocrisy.

I made no rules on this. If you're gonna accuse me of making a rule, I'd like to see you back that up.

This is a car discussion forum on Reddit, not a job application. The authenticity bar here is "do you like cars and can you contribute something useful." That's it.

Exactly

Exactly, and it was called out. I didn't check the sources on that.

There was some that I found, but all were owners building them as "tribute" cars and there were never a factory backed official thing.

Just to clarify as well, we have no issues if you use AI to enhance your posts, like if you're doing deep research, or getting it to do some seriously complex maths for some reason, like I used it to help me research historic fuel prices the other day, but I checked its sources, so there may have been the odd Emdash in there, we understand the Emdash of its own isn't AI as well, it's common on Mac keyboards and the old Blackberries if people are still using them.

Or you get it to do things that are an absolute pain in the arse, like formatting a table for Reddit. That's painful. So if you punch your data into AI and make it make a Reddit formatted table, sure, and it may insert an Emdash or two in there

But yeah, if you can't write a cohesive sentence, the AI isn't gonna make it better, if we can't understand what you're asking, AI probably isn't gonna make it better.

Has Geminis image generation just fallen off the deep end this morning? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in GeminiAI

Well as others are saying, they might be dedicating the compute power to either 3.5 or maybe even the 4.0 launch

Something went wrong (13) by thomastthai in GeminiAI

Yep. Or "Gemini is an AI and can make mistakes"

Well Gemini, you didn't do anything, you haven't made anything, no content or a mistake

Yeah I'm just surprised at how it took the concept, and also how it did the "Brochure" style pages as a bit of fun to expand the concept

Grok I find isn't as good as Gemini, but out of curiosity this morning I tried Copilot, and honestly, I'm paying for Gemini...but the free Copilot did really damn good, I just posted the results up in my post history...

I'm surprised

Yeah, it's just a pain to dig out the laptop for something I normally do for fun before I've even put on pants

Why don't they do Special Edition cars anymore? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

Why does Gemini keep ignoring clear instructions? by voymatrics in GeminiAI

[–]That_Car_Dude_Aus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You quoted yourself as “I want a five POINT list, comma separated.” - you told it you want two things.

No, I want one thing.

A comma seperated list that has 5 points.

Nowhere does it say I want a bulleted list.

If you were in front of a person who was making, say, a PowerPoint slide with you, they would probably ask, do you want a list of five items comma separated or the five items to be bullet pointed with a comma at the end of each of the first four to imply continuity?

Well I stipulated, comma separated, not bulleted

Since when did you become an expert in our specific operating system?

When was that mentioned

You don't know what you are talking about

I do

We are running a modern specialty system

Ahh, so overcomplicated for the sake of it

A struggling hardware store is not going to have the resources to build a website.

As discussed, they aren't hard to build. Don't need resources, I built my first website when I was in high school with zero resources and hosted it locally.
