You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)
Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these “hallucinations” are an “inherent feature” of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature “is still an unsolved problem.”
In the interest of transparency, I don’t know if this guy is telling the truth, but it feels very plausible.
All I know when a publicly offered company slaps “AI” on their products, then its most likely a money launderi…i mean liquidation strat.

If you need these kind of tips, on behalf of the gene pool, please don’t procreate, and eat as much glue as you can.

Then what made you think it’s a good idea to include that in your product now?!
This is what happens every time society goes along with tech bro hype. They just run directly into a wall. They are the embodiment of “Didn’t stop to think if they should” and it’s going to cause a lot of problems for humanity.
