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.
another awful side effect of Google deciding to become useless: really really dangerous pet care advice

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.

"Owners who fed their pet a plant-based diet reported fewer visits to the vet and less medication use" In other words, nuts who don't feed their cats a suitable diet also don't take them in for proper medical care. Turns out that Christian Scientists report fewer doctor visits too I bet!
