    Are these screenshots fake or are search engines saying stuff like this? (I don’t use google)

      This is fake. Their AI is stupid, but they have word filter in place, and “cock” would never have passed.

        Their ai makes up shit and they hail it as a technological innovation, it’s only fair to make shit up about the ai.

        Doesn’t matter if its fake or not - it’s going to severely damage the reputation of the ai search summary. And that’s a good thing I suppose - still this is misinformation.

          The ai has done a pretty good job damaging its own reputation. This one is fake, but there’s lots of real examples of it saying absurd things. Like to drink urine when you have a kidney stone, or put glue in your pizza cheese to stop it from sliding off the pizza.

      It’s surprisingly easy to edit the HTML in your browser and make something like a tweet or an email look legit. Screenshots should never be taken at face value

      Some are real, the glue in the pizza sauce one for example, but now that “funny google ai gaff” has become a genre of internet picture, you can fully expect people to be faking them for upvotes.
