decern

[LionelEdwards]

A search in Google on "dogberry decerns" brings up
this AI response.

In Much Ado About Nothing, Dogberry says, "Marry, sir,
I would have some confidence with you that decerns you
nearly". Dogberry intended to say "concerns" instead of
"decerns". Dogberry is a character in Much Ado About
Nothing who is known for using the wrong words, in the
wrong place, and with the wrong meaning. For example,
he once thought "tedious" meant "wealthy".

We have some catching up to do if we are to keep pace
with AI.

I suppose the obvious thing is to try to catch AI out?
The problem with that is that we rely on Google for our
own information. The full text anyway:

Leonato. What would you with me, honest neighbour?

Dogberry. Marry, sir, I would have some confidence with you
that decerns you nearly.

Leonato. Brief, I pray you; for you see it is a busy time with me.

Dogberry. Marry, this it is, sir.

Leonato. What is it, my good friends?

Dogberry. Goodman Verges, sir, speaks a little off the
matter: an old man, sir, and his wits are not so
blunt as, God help, I would desire they were; but,
in faith, honest as the skin between his brows.

Verges. Yes, I thank God I am as honest as any man living
that is an old man and no honester than I.

Dogberry. Comparisons are odorous: palabras, neighbour Verges.

Leonato. Neighbours, you are tedious.

Dogberry. It pleases your worship to say so, but we are the
poor duke's officers; but truly, for mine own part,
if I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in
my heart to bestow it all of your worship.

Leonato. All thy tediousness on me, ah?

Dogberry. Yea, an 'twere a thousand pound more than 'tis; for
I hear as good exclamation on your worship as of any
man in the city; and though I be but a poor man, I
am glad to hear it.

I suppose the obvious thing is to try to catch AI out? The problem
with that is that we rely on Google for our own information.

When you do a Google search, only the first part of the results is from
the Google AI. This should be treated with suspicion; sometimes it is
good information, sometimes it is garbage.

If you skip that new part, though, you get mostly links to web sites
whose content has been written by humans.

Interesting.

Aussi décerne-t-on la palme à l'IA.
And so the prize goes to AI.
