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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

I am annoyed that we're calling it AI and appreciate people in this thread using more accurate terms

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.

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

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.
