Part of a Lindy's job is to teach clients how to use the platform, and it was during this task that the AI helper provided a link to a video tutorial that wasn't supposed to exist.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"A customer reached out asking for video tutorials," Crivello wrote in his now-viral tweet thread about the hilarious debacle. "We obviously have a Lindy handling this, and I was delighted to see that she sent a video."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"But then I remembered we don't have a video tutorial," he continued, "and realized Lindy is literally fucking [R]ickrolling our customers."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In a screen-recording of the incident, Crivello further demonstrates that the \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/will-artificial-intelligence-gives-numerous-advantages-to-an-organization\">AI\u003C/a> assistant did indeed provide the customer with a link to the "Never Gonna Give You Up" video, which is exactly how memers for the better part of the last two decades have trolled each other.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>A customer reached out asking for video tutorials. \u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg alt=\"\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"170\" src=\"https://quasa.io/storage/photos/Фото 20/aidata 1.jpeg\" width=\"297\" />We obviously have a Lindy handling this, and I was delighted to see that she sent a video. \u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>But then I remembered we don't have a video tutorial and realized Lindy is literally fucking rickrolling our customers. pic.twitter.com/zsvGp4NsGz\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>— Flo Crivello (@Altimor) August 19, 2024\u003C/p>\n\u003C/blockquote>\n\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Training Day\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>Though he's not entirely sure how it happened, the Lindy CEO and founder told \u003Cem>TechCrunch\u003C/em> that he has a theory about how his AI assistants figured out how to execute this specific brand of internet humor.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg alt=\"\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"158\" src=\"https://quasa.io/storage/photos/Фото 20/aidata 7.jpeg\" width=\"300\" />"The way these models work is they try to predict the most likely next sequence of text," Crivello explained.
