I fucking knew this story was bullshit, and the scientist emailing a random plebe at Google (like some low level employee would know or be allowed to be honest about AI shitfuckery) all shocked was a joke, too. Pretty disappointed with a scientist feeding into this horseshit.

When it first ran, I posited that if they had emailed their documentation to someone with a Gmail address, it might have been up for grabs for sucking down the maw of Google's AI monstrosities.

Finally, even when it comes to the "right" answer there is no way to know if it hallucinated it's way to such an answer! Which makes it getting the "right" answer effectively pointless.
