    Ben Collins, one of the new owners of our former sister site, pointed out some of AI Overview’s most egregious errors on his social media. Asked “how many rocks should I eat each day,” Overview said that geologists recommend eating “at least one small rock a day.” That language was of course pulled almost word-for-word from a 2021 Onion headline. Another search, “what color highlighters do the CIA use,” prompted Overview to answer “black,” which was an Onion joke from 2005.

    Might want to read the article before commenting.

      Fair point. But, when the article image makes it look like trash-talk, I’m not compelled to read the article. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        How are you going to be a productive part of the conversation without reading the article? Just wasting everyone’s time.

        Surely an article’s image could never be used to innocuously illustrate the main subjects of the article?

        I’m not sure that Lemmy is a good place for you. Reddit is probably better suited for you.
