Google AI overview suggests adding glue to get cheese to stick to pizza, and it turns out the source is an 11 year old Reddit comment from user F*cksmith 😂

EDITING the next day to add that another person got a similar answer recommending adding glue. This is from AI research scientist Margaret Mitchell, https://m-mitchell.com/ .

Replicated....
But I appreciate that the glue suggested is "non-toxic"!
Look, this isn't about "gotchas", this is about pointing out clearly foreseeable harms. Before--eg--a child dies from this mess.
This isn't about Google, it's about the foreseeable effect of AI on society.

But, what the heck.
THEY'RE SMARTER THAN YOU AND ME,
and we have to adapt.
So they say.

No way to know how many people Google's AI is giving this or other harmful advice to.

(10,235 posts)in kindergarten? And isn't a pizza dough essentially just flour and water (with added yeast for leavening)? What are they building these "pizzas" out of that makes the cheese fall off? We make pizzas from scratch regularly here at chez Retrograde and never have problems with cheese sliding off - even when the sauce has a lot of garlic and onions (which it always does). Are the folks at Google building domed or hemispheric pizzas?
I'm more concerned about the suggestion to not add "gum" to the sauce: the data the model was trained on doesn't seem to "know" the difference between chewing gum and gum arabic.

(81,949 posts)I think this is about Google to some degree because they know this is possible in their system and they are still doing it. Who is asking for these gen AI features in Google search and why aren't they optional?
