lmao Google's AI is eating itself already -- telling you how much glue to put on pizza, citing a @katienotopoulos.bsky.social Business Insider article about Google's AI telling people to put glue on pizza
@gretchenmcc.bsky.social: today in "your capacity for language creativity REGRETTABLY MIGHT enable you to understand words that have never been said before in the entirety of human history" news: ^
So Google is now that wikipedia editor who won't let an actual scientist or author change their own name or their biographical information because they need an external reference... except so much worse.
More like the Wikipedia thing where:
* editor adds uncited "fact" to article
* "legitimate" news source repeats it without independent verification or citing Wikipedia
* other Wikipedia editor requests citation for "fact"
* said news source is used as citation for "fact"
Except it's automated now!
I love this honestly because it means we can seed the AI with intentional sarcasm and lies and make it worse and worse until they have to manually clean the data or admit that it is worthless
Two and a half week cycle. One data point -- I'm curious how else to measure this rate of spewing bullshit, redijesting its own bullshit and then spewing new and improved bullshit -- need to figure out how else to measure this

First Google recommends using paste to make the cheese stick on pizza based off some shit post probably, so this person makes a pizza with paste for a post on Business Insider and I am excited to see what happens when this gets run through the cycle again

We are like a few weeks from Google answering all math problems with "69 (lol)" using AI instead of using 1/10,000th the electricity to just calculate 2+2=4.
I've been calling it the anti-singularity.
Instead of each advance in AI being useful for making a better AI, each advance in AI makes it harder to make AI than before we started.
I can't help but think that this was preceded by some high-ranking Google mook shaking his fist and shouting, "Curse you, Katie Notopoulous! You'll never sell pizzas in this town again!"
