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.”
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.
Oh great, eugenics.
A good society protects its vulnerable members and that means people with impaired judgement, including the young & elderly.
You could say the same thing about a company that designs a system that tells people to eat glue. They have experts working for them that must have known this would be a problem and they released it anyway. Do they get yeeted from society for that, or are they still amongst the most powerful class of entities in history?
I’m pretty sure all babies don’t know that we are not supposed to eat glue. Should we kill them off too?
You mean those babies that can read and use chatgpt unsupervised?
The premise was people need advice on eating glue have bad genes. Babies commonly need those advice, whether it’s from AI or not.
My bad, I did mean it in the context of using the Internet.
Likely won’t make a difference to the gene pool. I looked up a couple of MSDS, and it seems that PVA glue (“white glue”), is safe to ingest. The Elmer’s glue “recommended” in the original Reddit post is a form of white glue.
