If you want true random you need the dice and ditch the LLM; like another commenter pointed out LLMs are pseudorandom with varying degrees of randomness, that can be set by the one who created the tool in question. It’s never going to be as random as basic, unaltered dice can be. A bit of human curated randomness has a lot more warmth and meaning than the coldness of a fancy autocomplete warped in it’s basic function. Which a person who thinks and talks to their partner could put some thoughtful surprises in the mix easily enough. Meh, to each their own.
The dice aren’t going to be meaningfully random either. The number will be random, sure. But … the choices the dice are rolling against will have to come from somewhere.
Agreed it’s not random. But do you really want random? Do you want to be told to go to Gary’s apartment for a manwich? The point is not randomness, it’s being random with a heavy bias towards pretty good. Same idea as a movie wining a award, may not be amazing but probably better than your 5 year old and 3 of his friends making a Sci fi movie
Ultimately, I am leaning towards human curated activities that dice rolls will decide for the date night in question (just a few so it is achievable). Otherwise, it would be fucking weird and make you seem particularly unsafe to be around. I am also advising against LLM reliance as…Even for seemingly harmless things because the way these models are set up, it’s designed to get people TOO invested in them and validate their worst ideas. Given we’re on Fuck AI (really they are warped LLMs), this should be a sane default recommendation to avoid using those sloppy things.
Ok, i mean I see it no different than picking randomly… What made you think I would be “particularly unsafe to be around?”
I wouldn’t use llm for my job or anything important but what’s the harm in this? Worse case it recommends a restaurant that doesn’t exist, fine laugh and see another local place.
Same idea as a dice roll but with all options instead of a few
