I’ve known how to ride horses and donkeys since I was 6 years old, I grew up on a horse ranch.

I don’t need no fucking examples dumbass, I lived it.

Read OP’s post again, it literally says “carrot and stick”.

I’m not about to nitpick or argue my life experience with someone that’s probably never rode a horse or donkey in their life, doesn’t know how to read, and goes to Google for all their information.

I do appreciate you for looking into older references, but I was hoping for some articles from before the digital era, like a scan or three from a couple encyclopedias or other relevant articles before the modern digital era.

Find me something from like 1950-60 and I might be more inclined to believe it. Other than that, given my life experience, I tend to believe what I literally learned on the horse ranch.

I asked for before the enshittification era.

I’m not about to trust a controversial article that could have been manipulated by almost anyone these days.

Can you provide me a couple older references to this? Preferably before the year 2000, or at least before the AI and enshittification era?

Well, seeing as how I grew up on a horse ranch, I can totally confirm the ‘cartoon logic’ you speak of is absolutely real, and is used to help train at least some donkeys and horses.

It’s more like teasing them to go after something they can never have.

Don’t talk about your mom like that.

You don’t hit the donkey with the stick silly! 😂🤣

You sit on the donkey and use the stick like a fishing pole. Dangle the carrot in front of the donkey’s face with a string, and the donkey will walk in whichever direction you guide it.

Here ya go, this is what Google AI gave me…

How to inflate a foldable phone?

• Make sure your phone is turned off and that the battery is fully charged.
• Find the inflation port on your phone. It is usually located on the bottom edge of the phone.
• Connect the inflation hose to the inflation port.
• Turn on the inflator and start inflating the phone.
• Once the phone is fully inflated, disconnect the inflation hose and turn off the inflator.
• Your phone is now ready to use.

Please note that this is just a general tutorial. The specific steps may vary depending on the model of your phone. Always consult your phone’s user manual for more specific instructions. Here are some additional tips:

• Use a slow and steady stream of air when inflating your phone.
• Do not over-inflate your phone. This could damage the phone.

If you have any problems inflating your phone, consult your phone’s manufacturer or a qualified technician.

LMFAO!

Want a quick way to inflate a foldable phone, stab it with a screwdriver. Don’t mind the smoke and fire, that’s just part of the process 🔥👍

Agreed.

I once asked AI a question, “How do you inflate a foldable phone?”

If it was smart, it should have responded with something like ‘This question doesn’t make sense, but here are some related articles to help you.’

But no no no, it literally wrote out instructions for me that almost looked perfectly professional, except it just replaced ‘inner tube’ with ‘folding phone’…

If AI keeps hallucinating like that, and people accept it as somehow being ‘smarter’ than humans, then indeed we might just be on track for a new dumb generation of humans that just accept bullshit as fact.

🤦‍♂️

Upvoted for get off my lawn 😂🤣

No telling for sure, I don’t write the terminology. Some changes have actually been good changes, like when they decided to stop designating PATA hard drives as master/slave and started using primary/secondary instead.

But think about the newer generation that has never seen a true dumb terminal before, they have no concept of no local processing. So it won’t surprise me a bit if the newer generation starts asking questions like ‘Does it have Artificial Intelligence? No? Well it must be a dumb system then’…

Do you feel guilty when your phone battery goes below 40%?

• Yes, oh shit, I need to charge!
• No, fuckit, let it run dead.

I’d describe them as Bo Burnham…

Interesting. I’ll tell ya what though, he was anything but a Christian, nor were his brothers.

A huge 3 leaf clover on the side of a dude’s neck, solid filled in green of course. Not to mention the other random tattoos on his face and stuff, but seriously, a 3 leaf clover? Why not a 4 leaf?..

You forgot strawberry flavored septic tank salesman, and that was in 1998, everyone knows that.

Did you know that only 23% of social media users know how to write with pencil and paper?

It’s true, I pulled that information from my ass Encyclopedia Britannica.
