Think I'll try that glue pizza. An odd taste choice, sure. But google wouldn't reccomend actually harmful things. They're the kings of search baby! They would have to be legally responsible as individuals for the millions of cases brought against them. They know that as rich people, they will face the harshest consequences! If anything went wrong, they'd find themselves in a.......STICKY situation!!!!
What happens when you put a product manager in charge of a software company.
I got a solution, stop being a lil baby and turn off the AI and go on to the next big thing. CRISPR, maybe? Not techbro enough? Make it like Crypto Crispr, only you own this little piece of DNA, and all the corporations that can read the ledger and get your biometrics
As well as no clue how not to make every product they have shit over time.

So crazy that humanity has so far allowed the idea of "hallucinations", even just the term, to be normalized and acceptable to any level into a product that's being forced into every layer of our daily existence.
Stop just going with it. Call out hallucinations on their face.
The moment a politician's kid drinks bleach because of Google's AI is the moment any regulatory action is taken.

I'm curious, are these hallucinations very prevalent? I'm outside under US so haven't seen the feature yet. But I have noticed that practically every article references the same glue incident.
So I'm not sure if the hallucinations are happening all the time, or everyone is just jumping on a handful of mistakes the AI made. If the latter, the situation reminds me of how every single accident involving a Tesla was reported on back in the day.
It will confidently report inaccurate information. It's usually not so hilariously wrong, but it's still wrong.
For example, I was talking with someone about what constituents a "fruit" botanically, and I searched "are beans fruit", and it confidently told me that beans are not a fruit, botanically speaking, because they're a legume. It seems to have adapted, but that's a good example of a "small wrong" that's not uncommon at all.
