Had AI gotten worse or is something up with the weird Google AI? (hexbear.net)

I've fucked around a bit with ChatGPT and while, yeah, it frequently says wrong or weird stuff, it's usually fairly subtle shit, like crap I actually had to look up to verify it was wrong.

Now I'm seeing Google telling people to put glue on pizza. That a bit bigger than getting the name of George Washington's wife wrong or Jay Leno's birthday off by 3 years. Some of these answers seem almost cartoonish in their wrongness I almost half suspect some engineer at Google is fucking with it to prove a point.

Is it just that Googles AI sucks? I've seen other people say that AI is now getting info from other AIs and it's leading to responses getting increasingly bizarre and wrong so... idk.

"AI" is not an information tool, but it's being marketed as one. These machine learning algorithms do not possess any knowledge. All a LLM is doing is mimicking human speech patterns, it knows how to put words in a grammatically correct order that are relevant to the input prompt and that's about it.

Machine learning has some practical uses but giving factual information, instruction, or advice are not among them. The idea of incorporating this shit into a search engine is fucking ridiculous.
