I looked as well, Gemini said it was real, then I asked for sources and it said it was not true and just a meme.
Same query except asking for sources:
I asked the Magic 8 Ball and it said that signs point to yes.
Gemini is worse than useless when it comes to this sort of thing. It's simultaneously the most confidently-wrong of any AI model and also the most willing to fold to even the smallest amount of criticism.
It will tell you whatever you want to hear, every time, regardless of the actual reality.
well I was looking for a good source, and DDG hadn't found one so I went to google - not for it's AI
Why do people even bother with AI, when it's so often wrong?
Just say no.
You do see the flaw in your logic here, right?
These screenshots are art.
See your problem here was asking for sources. Why would you need sources sir? You should just enjoy you got an answer, Sheesh!!
I always get a kick out of people getting frustrated when they SHOW AN AI SOMETHING and then ask if it's "real."
Ai: "Of course its, 'real.' Bitch, you just showed it to me."
Stunning amount of hammer hate coming from people who aim for their thumbs.
but I didn't show it, I searched in the google search box, it was googles choice to make up lies about the string of text
Given the screencaps, I may have to eat my words on this one.
"Entirely true," is rather damning, I must admit.
Sorry, mate.
