Google nonetheless recommends glue in your pizza Leave a comment


I’ll grant the question “how a lot glue so as to add to pizza” is an uncommon one — however not that uncommon given the current uproar round glue pizza. As noticed by Colin McMillen on Bluesky, for those who ask Google how a lot glue so as to add to your pizza, the appropriate reply — none! — doesn’t seem. As an alternative, it cites our lady Katie suggesting you add an eighth of a cup. Whoops!

You could be questioning if it is a faked screenshot. I questioned that, too. However The Verge confirmed by working our personal question:

Simply phenomenal stuff right here, people. Each time somebody like me experiences on Google’s AI getting one thing unsuitable, we’re coaching the AI to be wronger.

These of us of a, ahem, sure age will bear in mind the phenomenon of “Google bombing;” the basic instance was utilizing the phrases “depressing failure” with a hyperlink to George W. Bush. Completed continuously sufficient, the end result was {that a} Google seek for “depressing failure” returned, properly, George W. Bush. Google discovered the right way to squish this enjoyable recreation sooner or later within the late 2000s, however with its new AI outcomes, hey, the sport’s again on! I’m simply going to jot down “depressing failure” in the identical sentence as George W. Bush as soon as extra for previous instances’ sake, and perhaps in a day or two, you’ll get a fantastic new AI search end result, who is aware of!

This isn’t, by the best way, a common downside. I requested Perplexity.AI how a lot glue to placed on pizza, and it advised me, “I might strongly advise towards placing any glue on pizza. Glue shouldn’t be an edible ingredient and consuming it might be poisonous and dangerous to your well being.” It then goes on to clarify how the “glue on pizza” meme originated.

Naturally, this isn’t the one factor that’s going unsuitable, although it’s in all probability the funniest. This different factor is fairly good although: Google can’t reply questions on its personal merchandise anymore, because of its AI. Verge editor Richard Lawler requested the right way to activate screenshots in Chrome’s Incognito mode. Google’s AI gave two solutions, each unsuitable. In a single, it suggests taking a screenshot in a traditional Chrome tab.

Within the different, Google’s AI insists that taking a screenshot in Chrome’s Incognito mode merely isn’t doable:

Incorrect once more!

Sadly, by describing this downside, I’m pretty positive I’m now making it worse. Google goes to slurp up my superb prose describing the problem and feed it again to the unwary as proof that Chrome Incognito screenshots are unimaginable, and that glue belongs in your pizza. What’s going to mischievous bloggers do with this data, I ponder?
