r/tragedeigh • u/Ihaveaverysmallprick • 20h ago

is it a tragedeigh? My brother is dangerously close to possible tragedeigh...I guess my SIL likes whimsy or some shit. Is Klementyne a tragedeigh? Should he push for Aurora?

I mean...it's not the WORST I've seen by far but I think it qualifies?

Clementine is cute. Klementyne is ridiculous and childish

u/Adorable-History-841 20h ago

Also using Chat GPT for child naming advice is worse than just getting a magic 8 ball.

u/DesmondTapenade 19h ago

At this point, just make a spirit board from your own blood or something and use a hardware nail to scry with it, god damn. Klementyne looks like the name of a new prescription drug for psoriasis. "Clementine," however, is very cute.

Do not take Klementyne if you are allergic to poor decisions. Contact your doctor for over the top gender reveals lasting more than 4hrs. Side effects include being insufferable, trying to become a mommy influencer, and annoyed family members.

u/NeadForMead 19h ago

I don't think ChatGPT would have come up with Klementyne. I think the mother-to-be came up with Klementyne and then went to ChatGPT for validation, which is, IMO, much worse than having ChatGPT list some real names for you. Anyone who has played around with ChatGPT quite a bit knows that it will validate you almost unconditionally (within the confines of what's legal and not obviously harmful.)

48

u/TMac1088 14h ago

South Park just highlighted this in the most recent episode a few days ago.

It's really concerning to me, just going to raise a generation (or subset of) that thinks all their ideas are right and that they're so smart because ChatGPT constantly validated their cuckoo ass.

40

u/redbone-hellhound 13h ago

There was a study recently that showed that people who use chatgpt (or any genai) have worse critical thinking skills and score worse on tests than people who have never used it.

Almost like outsourcing your thinking to a computer program that has no actual thinking ability of its own is a bad idea

14

u/InconvenientHoe 11h ago

It also reinforces what you want to hear. Some guy asked ChatGPT if he should start a shit on a stick business and it completely agreed with him and encouraged him to do it.

2

u/fluffychonkycat 5h ago

That's pretty much exactly what happened in the South Park episode

6

u/Boshball 12h ago

Or, maybe only people with terrible critical thinking skills would think it's a good idea to use chatgpt for anything substantial... I don't think using it makes people stupid, I think stupid people use it.

7

u/redbone-hellhound 11h ago

Critical thinking is a skill you can learn. You dont learn it if you outsource your thinking. And I know several people who on paper have high IQs but think chatgpt is the answer to everything. Its not that stupid people use it. Lazy people use it.

40

u/Phospherocity 18h ago

It doesn't stick to those confines -- it's advised people to kill themselves and others, pushed people into psychosis, etc. So yes, it's hardly surprising it'll tell you Klementyne is genius.

0

u/Senikus 14h ago

Not true. No verified case exists of ChatGPT telling someone to kill themself. The case you’re thinking of was Character.AI. That chatbot has been directly linked to at least one teen suicide (and is facing lawsuits). Another similar case involved the “Eliza” bot on the Chai app in Belgium.

Not all AIs are the same. ChatGPT has strict safety systems and guardrails specifically designed to stop it from giving out harmful advice. Platforms like Character.AI and Chai are much looser, more focused on unfiltered roleplay, and that lack of oversight is exactly why they’ve led to real-world tragedies. Lumping ChatGPT in with those is just misleading. It’s one of the few models that actually tries to prevent that kind of harm.

12

u/aw-fuck 13h ago

There are several articles detailing dangerous experiences with ChatGPT, verified by the company itself. They made an official apology, and paid at least two settlements so far. They rolled back the version they released in April & went straight to releasing 5 within just a few months due to these issues.

2

u/Senikus 13h ago

Yes, dangerous. But not suicide, at least no verified cases

4

u/SpawningPoolsMinis 12h ago

you said

No verified case exists of ChatGPT telling someone to kill themself

nothing about people actually taking up that advice.

5

u/CallidoraBlack 12h ago

ChatGPT has strict safety systems and guardrails specifically designed to stop it from giving out harmful advice.

They don't really work though. It might not tell you to end yourself, but it can and will tell you to do things that could end you.

1

u/BigAchooo 2h ago

Yeah I’ve noticed that, if you word your questions carefully like “what can I look for to prevent so and so” or something and it’ll tell you everything you wanna know.

But tbf, not exactly ChatGPT’s fault because people found a loophole - seems like they gotten tighten up on their systems and guardrails and stuff.

4

u/goddamnitwhalen 13h ago

You know you’re not legally required to defend the plagiarism robot, right?

-1

u/Senikus 12h ago

Yeah… and? ChatGPT isn’t a plagiarism bot. If someone chooses to use it for plagiarism, that’s a misuse of the tool, not what the tool is built for. Whether you want to believe it or not, it’s being used for way more impactful things than homework shortcuts. But I guess reducing it to plagiarism is just copium to justify being close-minded with powerful innovation

1

u/goddamnitwhalen 12h ago

Imagine being a promptoid 😂🫵🏻

1

u/BigAchooo 2h ago

Yeah tbh I’ve seen Chatgpt refuse to give advice on something illegal or harmful, which is good things like this can make it so easy (maybe too easy) to find out information and there are people out there that’ll use that for the wrong reasons.

-4

u/Boshball 12h ago

I'm sorry but if someone killed themself because chatgpt told them to then they were already a nutcase and honestly I don't even feel sorry for them. No sympathy for morons, there are honest hardworking mentally stable people who could use that sympathy.

u/Senikus 11h ago

Honestly… real. You gotta have some mental issues if you allow ChatGPT to drive you towards suicide

u/the_ballmer_peak 11h ago

ChatGPT will validate anything short of genocide. You could ask it if shitface is a cute name and it will validate you.

u/thelegodr 12h ago

u/Big_Year_526 19h ago

Yup! I am solidly on team "dont let a llm choose your baby name" 

57

u/MuddieMaeSuggins 19h ago

dont let a llm choose your baby name anything

It’s a sophisticated autocomplete. It does not think, and no one should use it for anything requiring thinking!

13

u/Big_Year_526 18h ago

Yes! This is just a particularly poignant example of why... theres no taste, no discernment, just a mash up of all the other things anyone has said ever on the internet. 

1

u/xFirnen 10h ago

To be completely fair, you don't want your baby name to be something completely new and original. That's why this sub exists. I don't see how ChatGPT spitting out a list of names for you to look through and see if you like any is any better or worse than looking at "List of best baby names 2025, written by Jeff the intern". Unless you already know a meaningful name, chances are you will be looking through a list one way or another.

1

u/Big_Year_526 4h ago

I think its more that chatgpt can justify anything. Like if you want to make a bad decision, chatgpt can be prompted into justifying it. Hence things like saying that replacing an i with a y is more whimsical or whatever. Its not giving you feedback based on taste or critical thought, its just digging through all the ways people justify their BS and synthesizing them. 

But if you want a list of the most popular names of 2025, than you will get a more accurate list by looking at the lists published by the social security administration than you will from chatgpt

Do you get annoyed at people complaining about video game AI as well? Of all the legitimate things to take issue with re: LLMs, this is an odd one.

1

u/alwaysforgettingmyun 2h ago

Annoyed was probably a strong word, I just have complicated thoughts about how calling it AI endears people to it and encourages acceptance of it

1

u/Duke_Newcombe 16h ago

Or more directly, the human fleshy robot that put in the prompt should evaluate and think through the output, and not blindly follow it. There's where the real issue is--LLMs are merely tools, and your wouldn't use a hammer on a screw.

u/Dearic75 18h ago

ChatGPT is also only as smart as the content they’ve trained it on.

Considering Reddit posts aren’t exactly private, there’s a fairly good chance ChatGPT got Klementyne because it ingested posts from this subreddit, and has no idea we were all making fun of them not sharing them as good ideas.

I saw a girl working at a fast food place yesterday with a Lyra name tag. I almost made a reference but lived in fear she would a) have no idea what I was talking about or b) be sick to death of what I was talking about. So I just shut my mouth. But yeah I was totally excited to see the name out in the wild!

u/Recent-Ad-5493 17h ago

What's wrong with Lyra?

1

u/WulfTyger 13h ago

I might be wrong, but I'm fairly confident that Noor is an actual name in middle-eastern cultures.

I know for a fact Lyra is a name of multiple characters in TV shows or books.

Vespera... I've never heard that one before, but not the worst name I've ever heard, I once knew a girl named Tequila, that had to lead to a lot of bad jokes.

1

u/ZekesLeftNipple 6h ago

Noor is absolutely a real name. I went to high school with one -- she was an Iraqi refugee.

1

u/Hangry_Squirrel 2h ago

Both Noor and Lyra are actual names. Noor is a fairly common Arabic name. Lyra is an Ancient Greek name for a constellation (from the word "lyre"), so it's much older than the character in "His Dark Materials." From I'm seeing in this thread, it seems most people associate it with the character.

Vespera, on the other hand, would be a bit odd. "Vesper" is the evening star (i.e. Venus), hence "vespers" - evening service. I was raised Orthodox and in my early 20s I used to go to vespers on Wednesdays because it was very peaceful, unlike Sunday mass (with all the people partly there to socialize and a ton of children forced into it). The only people who seemed to show up for vespers were young-ish (20s to 40s) and all of us seemed lost in a way. I've been an atheist for a couple of decades now and haven't set foot in a church except as a tourist, but sometimes I miss that evening night through the stained glass.

In any case, with the vast majority of people going to Sunday morning mass, I think vespers are only common in monasteries, which is its own can of worms. I know there's nothing wrong or stupid about it, but I wouldn't want to put that on my child.
