Google has unleashed an AI fueled answer bot in its search results (possibly US only? not showing up on Google for me in Chrome) and it's as bad as you can expect for a system trained on random shit on the internet. It reckons you can add non-toxic glue to pizza to make the cheese stick and when asked how many rocks people should eat per day, it says you should eat at least one small rock a day. These answers aren't the AI hallucinating or making shit up, it's directly quoting Reddit posts and The Onion, presenting them as legitimate sources of information. Is Google not embarrassed by this? Do they legitimately think this is a good thing to place in their flagship product on users that didn't ask for it? These are rhetorical questions, we all know Google has no standards.
