At 60, they switch over to units of time. After 70, to metric.
Edit: My bad. After 60 pounds, they reverse polarity.

Well Americans do run heavier than most other countries.
Light years is not a measurement of time it is a measurement of weight.
Billions of dollars.
Doesn't this also mean that the average life expectancy of a US American male is not much more than 29 years?
Maybe. But if they survive their 50s they end up being 69 pounds old.
Shit, I'm underweight. From today, 3 pizzas for dinner every day.
Hopefully you'll weigh 1 year when the time comes...
You can become a one year old again, by just losing some weight!
!hmmm@lemmy.world
This is why old people are so slow. They're heavy as fuck.

As funny as this is, Gemini was essentially broken on release. For context this is a current response
Its fun to laugh at how stupid it was, but the fact its gotten better honestly just increases the risk that someone will believe a hallucination and bad information proliferates because its embedded in largely good information making it appear trustworthy, and if you don't know the answer then you dont know when it's confidently wrong. And it increases the risk that AI usage will grow as people decide they think its helpful, with harmful implications for the environment and labor.
It would frankly be nice if had stayed that stupid, it would be much less harmful that way
I still get hilariously bad, wildly inaccurate or false responses from search engine AI.
If the answer isn't in the training data or easily searchable on the web, it will make shit up and lie to you with the confidence of a used car salesman.
It's not always this egregious, but it can be. I still see AI messing up the "how many letters are in this word" prompts years after I first discovered that it was a thing.
I've had the duckduckgo ai (which I have since disabled) relatively recently hallucinate that the walking speed of a game character was like mach 4.5
And it considered that speed "slow+"
Google models always suck ass, I don't get why people ever glaze it. Or google in general.

American units of measurement are so weird.
You take that back. It's patently untrue and it's evoked at least 10 hamburgers worth of anger from me.
dude go eat two hamburgers. my doctor said if i got to nine burgers i could have an event and i worry about you
An event like a party? Sounds fun!

Bear in mind, these are averages, not medians. They can be thrown off by the relatively few Americans who weigh 100,000,000+ lbs each.
my ears are fattening
Burgers Georg
At birth I weighed 10 years and aged like 20,000 lbs.

Ladies, if your man weighs 4,900 pounds, that's not your man. That's a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

If David Attenborough was American he would have just turned into a black hole.
Looks like burgers are back on the menu boys, I'm severely underweight.
By golly, this just shows us that we need AI in everything now!
Don't worry, we'll start slowly and responsibly with inconsequential things like medicine and war.

69 pound 1 year old, such a big baby.
Nono, if you're 60-69 pounds old, the average weight is 1 year.
Yes but it's a light year.
Anything but metric.
Crap, I'm underweight; time to order at least 296 pizzas.
Anyone got a voucher?
Every time these get posted, I go and check if it's true. And then I realize I deliberately used Google to read an AI summary and feel sick about it. I've been tricked into giving them traffic
Don't be tricked, read other people's comments.

A 70lb 1 year old, lol.
The rest of this looks like how my kids thought growing up worked when they were really little. They expected to just keep growing, thought I was too, so by now I should be about 30 feet tall and yeah, 5,000 lb.
