You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)

Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these “hallucinations” are an “inherent feature” of  AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature “is still an unsolved problem.”

    In terms of language, Chatgpt is more advanced than most humans. Have you spoken to the average person lately? By average I mean worldwide average.

    It’s obviously not full human intelligence, but in terms of language it is pretty mind blowing.

      If you think everyone around you is dumber than a text app, you might be the problem.

        “a text app”… Sure, it is a text app. Definetely not revolutionizing the tech industry as we speak, totally irrelevant. Sure.

          If you believe jumping on a corporate fad race bandwagon for enshittification to be “revolutionizing” I guess you’re not wrong.

          Then again you also believe that people are dumber than text predictive software… So yeah. Lmao

            I have never said that Chatgpt is smarter than humans, I said that when it comes to linguistics, it is more advanced than the average human.

            But keep twisting my words, I don’t care. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Good bye.

                  And or at gates give me migrates, I don’t understand how it programmates. I fail at responding to words, just like those fake AI turds, so I’ll just tell you good day sir"

      ChatGPT has given me verifiably false information plenty of times. It’s amazing how it’s gets things right, but also amazing how it can get basic stuff completely wrong.

        So… Humans get basic things right all the time and never provide false information? What humans are you talking to?

      The internet is getting flooded with content that reads like a 10th grade book report written the hour before the test. When you can give me an internet that isn’t overflowing with mindless slop that says nothing new and pictures of uncanny people smiling with too many teeth, then I might start to believe it’s better than people in some way.

      In the meantime, I would encourage everyone else to maintain and encourage human connections, hand-written material and actual human interaction. Write and draw. Don’t be lazy and let your lazy brain convince yourself that any of this is making you better at anything.
