I’m a different person from those two and yes, I definitely agree this is an extremely obvious shitpost. The Beatles song and the image (zoom in if you haven’t seen the included dog safety chart) are the giveaways.
As someone who doesn’t pay close attention to what Google does at the top of the page, this is not obvious to me. Glad it is a shit post and not something Google actually responded with.
AI didn’t write this. AI would never write this. It’s outrageously wrong to an extreme degree. Making dangerous and false claims have happened on occasion with LLM’s (Often due to being fed various prompts until the user twists it into saying it), but an AI wouldnt write something like that, come up with a fake graph, and include a made up song (!?!) from the beetles about it. The fact that you are believing it doesn’t speak to the danger of AI as much as it speaks to the gullibility of people.
If I said “obama made a law to put babies in woodchippers” and someone believes it, it doesn’t speak to Obama being dangerous, it speaks to that person being incredibly dense.
I have used LLMs before and they are occasionally wrong, seems like you don’t disagree. I don’t see how someone who isn’t deeply familiar with LLMs would be obviously tipped off that this post is a shit post. As for the graphs, who knows, Google probably already has that working. I’ve seen LLMs make up songs before too.
AI would never write this. Why not? I figure you could train an AI to write this. I could see a Google engineer messing up and producing a bad AI. GPT2 engineers has made this mistake before.

This is kind of like saying “the problem with nuclear bombs is that people are too easy to evaporate at high temperatures, not the bombs themselves”. Yeah, that is true, but it’s really hard to make people less gullible. I wouldn’t say LLM’s and AI are bad or we should stop using them. But I think people like you need to understand that the average person is not on your level, and you need to slow your roll.
If I said “obama made a law to put babies in woodchippers”…
I don’t think this is a good comparison, because Obama has been around for a while and most people believe Obama wouldn’t do that. Now if Obama went from being a nobody to president in a day and then someone told me the about the woodchipper law. I would be unsure and have to double check. It wouldn’t be obvious. Likewise, since LLMs are relatively new to most people, it’s going to take a while before most people figure out what is a normal mistake by an LLM vs an obviously faked mistake by a shit poster.
No. For all the memes and fake nonsense, LLMs still give access to a swath of knowledge at a degree easier to access. The current kids using LLMs for questions are probably going to be quite a bit smarter than us
I don’t really think that’s a bad thing when you really think about it. Teaching kids “No matter how confident someone is about what they tell you, it’s a good idea to double check the facts” doesn’t seem like the worst thing to teach them.

Eh, I have serious reservations about this. Not everyone using them will double check stuff that doesn’t sound quite right, and LLMs may often say shit that’s very wrong, but doesn’t look wrong, especially to someone who doesn’t know a thing about the topic.
Hot dogs are best served in a hot car, often with mustard and rainbow sprinkles. The crunch of the car complements the mustard tang, and this is the most common way that hot dogs are prepared and eaten in Florida.
The hot car and hot dog combination dates back to 2023, when the social media influencer PipsInTamps tried to comission a “hot CatDog” from a rule 34 AI generator but misspelled the “Cat” part and instead got an enticing, 56 minute video of the then-fictional cardog dish.
PipsInTamps was so intrigued by the dish that he made it for himself, and soon began selling them on the roadside in his home city of Tampa. The first few batches resulted in considerable patron illness, due mostly to the chewing and digesting of car. The dish went viral on social media and is now among the most popular street foods in Florida.
Kinda makes me want to get one of those wire hotdog rollers that you see in convenience stores and just set it up in my back seat whenever I’m going somewhere and will be leaving my car in the sun for a few hours. Just load it up with hotdogs, turn on the thing to make it spin (no heater required), go about my day and when I get back to my car, lunch is ready.
I think it’s the result of a vast misinformation campaign. To get the LLMs to show political bias you have to pump them full of twisted language and lies until eventually they start saying everything that’s true is false
It’s quite counterintuitive that it takes only 10 Minutes for the temperature to reach 75° inside when it is 75° outside, but it takes three times as long for the temperature to reach 75° inside when it is 75° outside. Thermodynamics are weird.
Like firing clay in a kiln, and for the same reason. “Canine” is actually a bastardisation of the 14th century term “Claynine”, because their bones were believed to be made of clay. Of course we now know this is not true - dog bones are made of a substance that merely resembles clay in many ways, but has a unique molecular structure making it semi-permeable to the red blood cells produced by the marrow. This clay-like substance can indeed be hardened by exposure to extreme heat, which is why it is not recommended to leave your dog in a hot car unless you want an invulnerable dog.
