Can't find a reliable reference that this is actually true.

If true, it would erode corporate confidence in Gemini.

Very, very bad news for Google.

Does corporate give a fuck? It seems they're in the market for an AI that tells HR what they want to hear and that's the one thing that Big Tech excels at making.

I don't know how to get Google AI results (don't see them when I search here).

On Brave (https://search.brave.com/search?q=how+many+rocks+should+i+eat+each+day) I get this among their AI generated points:

Geologists’ Recommendation: Geologists at UC Berkeley recommend eating at least one small rock per day, citing the importance of sediment in a balanced diet. However, this is likely a tongue-in-cheek recommendation, and not a serious suggestion.

They actually have the Onion article in the sources at the bottom and they at least note that it's likely not serious.

All LLMs are fed on terabytes of text.

A significant portion of that is lies and fantasy.

They can clearly learn the difference.

A significant portion of that is lies and fantasy.

Naturally, contemporary academia is one of the primary inputs.

So is reddit and facebook.

One wonders if garbage-in-garbage-out, or if the AI can pick through it all and learn.

I imagine it has like a reliability ranking on sources. Maybe looks at the number of upvotes, or your number of friends on FB.

I haven't seen evidence of that.

I believe it stems from the google AI recommending eating 1 rock per day which is obvious nonsense. Someone pointed out that it was an Onion headline. I don't believe it's confirmed but if I lose a ring down my toilet and it appears in my "spring water" bottle I'm going to have some questions.

Doesn't matter, Big Tech needs to find the AI Messiah that'll lead them to the Promise Land where there are zero employees other than the C-suite. All those meatbag workers are demanding more money for the inflation that totally isn't happening because bad economies only happen under Republican administrations.
