Why is Google telling us to put glue on pizza?


Google’s new AI Overview feature is telling users a whole bunch of wrong answers.

The answer received for the pizza glue query appears to be based on a comment from a user named “fucksmith” in a more than decade-old Reddit thread, and they’re clearly joking. It also claims that former US President James Madison graduated from the University of Wisconsin not once but 21 times, that a dog has played in the NBA, NFL, and NHL, and that snakes are mammals. AI optimists argue that we should embrace the hype because of the rapid progress made so far, trusting that it will continue to improve.
