Google’s generative AI gets “can cats be vegan” right at first….
but THEN decides to throw in a completely wrong opposing opinion, which some people who REALLY want a vegan cat will absolutely cling to.
I do think that this is somewhat deeper than a genAI problem, and a situation where there really is a misinformation campaign on the vegan side and it's not adequately matched by good information. Google's old algorithms would also fail.
every time i've replicated a stupid google AI response, the SEO problem is right under the surface. "is raw milk good for immunity" gave me a bad answer... summarized from the first search result, a pro-raw-milk site, which i also got with AI turned off
Five years ago, the top results for this question would have been from Quora and its ilk - chock full of uninformed idiots "answering" questions for clout or whatever; training an LLM on reams of that garbage just cuts out the middleman.
