Google AI overview suggests adding glue to get cheese to stick to pizza, and it turns out the source is an 11 year old Reddit comment from user F*cksmith 😂

EDITING the next day to add that another person got a similar answer recommending adding glue. This is from AI research scientist Margaret Mitchell, https://m-mitchell.com/ .

Replicated....
But I appreciate that the glue suggested is "non-toxic"!
Look, this isn't about "gotchas", this is about pointing out clearly foreseeable harms. Before--eg--a child dies from this mess.
This isn't about Google, it's about the foreseeable effect of AI on society.

1. This AI might be very effective with props fabrication for TV or films. n/t

2. And gastroenterologists

3. Google and others are hurriedly reinventing the wheel.

Sometimes they come up with strange things.
But, what the heck.




THEY'RE SMARTER THAN YOU AND ME,
and we have to adapt.
So they say.

12. That is a perfectly correct response for "create an image of a bicycle"

That's what can be scary about AI. It will often do what you want, but not necessarily the way you want it.

4. Thus was humanity utterly destroyed by its own decades-old sarcasm and dark humor

Somehow this feels like a "full circle" moment if you know what I mean

14. Heh AI learns that electrolytes are what plants crave

And so it begins....

5. Kicking after editing the OP to show this insane result from Google's AI Overview was just replicated by

an AI research scientist.

No way to know how many people Google's AI is giving this or other harmful advice to.

6. Didn't we all make flour-and-water glue

in kindergarten? And isn't a pizza dough essentially just flour and water (with added yeast for leavening)? What are they building these "pizzas" out of that makes the cheese fall off? We make pizzas from scratch regularly here at chez Retrograde and never have problems with cheese sliding off - even when the sauce has a lot of garlic and onions (which it always does). Are the folks at Google building domed or hemispheric pizzas?

I'm more concerned about the suggestion to not add "gum" to the sauce: the data the model was trained on doesn't seem to "know" the difference between chewing gum and gum arabic.

7. Another cautionary tale

Do not rely on AI for accurate information. It's a great tool but it's not a replacement for fact checking or legal or medical advice.

9. I Think This Demonstrates

the "artificial" part of "artificial intelligence."

10. No thumbtacks? nt

11. Would the proposed solution work?

I think this is about Google to some degree because they know this is possible in their system and they are still doing it. Who is asking for these gen AI features in Google search and why aren't they optional?

13. I mean, if it works it works

15. i think i have had some of those pizzas
