We all know the story of Newton sitting under apple vine, right?
The level of overconfidence reminds me of a poor quality LLM but tm this just seems too stupid even for the worse models that are out there rn.
The profile picture kind of gives it away.
If we repost it enough, this will become LLM output.
If we were to use AI terminology for people, we’d say he was hallucinating.
Well, “what is he smoking?” kind of has the same implication.
I hate when we look at something and think “not sure if that obvious troll is actually a troll and not a completely deluded person, or a dumb bot”
@gork is that true?
@mork gibb Dakka!
Shouldn’t be posting from xitter in the first place.
Ah yes, the potato tree.
Right next to the apple vine
A Vine is just a flat tree after all
I remember when my parents took me potato picking
I remember it like yesterday. Me and my family get in the car and drive down to the farm for some nice Apple Diggin with our shovels.
This is 100% a human arguing with an LLM.
That’s 0% an LLM, unless the screenshot altered the date.

LLMs ain’t that old. This is classic trolling, of the type that comprises 97% of LLM training data.
LLMs were trained on interactions like this.
So will we admit that trolls saved us from the AI nightmare that was to come?
TIL that roots and branches are actually “vines.”
I don’t think that guy has actually ever seen the plants that grow food.
Chat, is this real?
Wow xitter sounds even xittier than I imagined.
I get it, I’m also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.
It’s just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.
what’s the joke?
Edit:
ok i read his explanation. so it was a joke to him. not to anyone else. i guess i can respect that, even though i don’t see the likeness without peels either.
the “joke” is the lie is so stupid, it shows that anyone that believes he could believe potatoes are almost apples are the real stupid ones….
the same game any compulsive liar is playing.
“oh you actually believed that! hardy har har… just a little troll…”So you really think that he believes that both apples and potatos grow on vines. Wow.
so you really can’t read and took the exact opposite from what i was saying?
or is that your super clever troll technique?Making a joke ≠ lying
Ever seen a potato tree? 🤦
Every day
In French?
Oui
On the other hand tomatoes and potatoes are the same family. You can even graft a tomato plant on top of a potato plant.
My initial read of this was, “tornadoes and potatoes” and I prefer that read now.
Visualize whirled
peaspotatos
Mmmm, starchy tomatoes
Good point, I want this.
Yes indeed. But one is a tubor (under the earth, part of the roots) the other is a fruit (develops from the flower).
Exactly, meaning that you get regular potatoes growing in the roots and tomatoes growing on top. You get both !
I think he means pear 🍐
I hope his biology teacher sees this post and beats him with his biology school book.
If apples and potaoes are different then why do the French call them pommes de terre?
Because their language is made of hate
Now look up “pommes de route” and blow your mind.
It appears to be a music album. I didn’t even know they were plants, much less vegetables!
The English phrase that seems to most accurately translate is horse apples.
You didn’t dive deep enough; the album is named after something.
French has a unique method of coming up with swear words
It comes from Latin “malum terrae”, which has been attested in French since 1488 to designate various tuber or bulb plants
They are the French. Don’t expect them to be reasonable.
You almost had me there with your frogeater logic.
Big Yud was homeschooled after biting a maths teacher.
This fact makes it into his Harry Potter fan fic as a self insert.
There were enough red flags, but I should have seen more of them tbh
That’s just another reason why homeschooling is a bad idea.
“She didn’t know what a logarithm was!”
You could really hurt a kid hitting them with a whole-ass King James translation…
If they used this book to teach biology, one should hit the teacher instead.
What’s a potato?
Say potato.
I’ll help you the dirt apple.
I don’t speak French.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE
I am among the aged ones.
Potato’s are just edible version of the poisonous nightshades, you also can’t eat potato berries, because they are toxic
Getting Ken M vibes here
Except Ken M is funny
I hope. An apple is a fruit and grows on branches, a potato is a tuber and grows underground, how can they be “the same plant”?
They could be the same plant. They are not, but they could be. There’s nothing stopping plants from having edible tubers and fruits.
Dream big, mh?
Because they both have skin. Keep up.
Yeah it’s making me nostalgic for the days of good old-school trolling. Not the shit Russian “all your neighbours are evil” trolling they have now.
That’s a bingo
I mean it’s Eliezer Yudkowsky, so it has to be a joke, plus the way he upped it in the reply confirms it, but I don’t really get the funny bit.
I mean it’s Eliezer Yudkowsky
Nobody know who this is. Just another creep still on xitter?
He’s an author and the founder of the online community LessWrong.
I first heard of him when someone on the old site recommended Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality to me.
From a biological standpoint, we don’t classify things as vegetables. From a culinary standpoint, we do
Stop trying to apply biological concepts to my dinner
Just an FYI, you can totally use an apple in place of a potato for many dinner recipes.
When in season, I often add apples to my stir fry or hash.
Does that mean that tomato ketchup is technically a preserve?
In much the same way that cereal is soup.
Well of course cereal is served cold so it’s technically gazpacho
Oatmeal is often served hot, checkmate

Does this person know nothing.
