This is the best summary I could come up with:


A screenshot of the summary it generated, shared on X, shows it responded with “cheese can slide off pizza for a number of reasons,” and that the user could try adding “about ⅛ cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness.”

Google started testing the AI Overviews feature in the US and the UK earlier this year and announced it would roll out more widely by the end of 2024.

In other cases, as Business Insider’s Peter Kafka points out, one issue with generative AI engines is that they can just make things up.

Social media users have shared other examples of AI Overviews generating inaccurate responses, including when it said a “dog has played in the NHL.”

They added that the “vast majority of AI Overviews provide high-quality information” and that it carried out “extensive testing” before it launched the feature.

Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.


The original article contains 375 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 57%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

The NHL is set to celebrate the playoff season with a new tradition: the Stanley Pup.

The hockey league is partnering with the nonprofit Petco Love to air the one-hour special next month, when some very talented ice dogs will get a chance to rollick around the rink.

Each of the NHL’s 32 teams will have its own canine representative, but only the pups representing the 16 Stanley Cup Playoff contenders will get a chance to show off their skills.

Many of the hockey hounds hitting the ice will also be available for adoption from shelters or rescue groups in their respective cities.

Where this came from is commercials would add glue to the cheese to get the “cheese pull” effect for the camera.

According to Mastodon:

The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith.

Look at that comment yo upvote ratio. A human user could easily tell just from that the advice is questionable, but the machine thinks it’s a highly engaging comment and values it more than a highly upvoted comment with no discussion under it.

“Non-toxic” is like “inflammable” right? It means highly toxic.

The result in the screenshot is taken almost wholesale from a 11 y/o reddit comment.

Let that sink in. 11 y/o comments on Reddit are what trained this AI and it is now spitting them out as results for people looking for help.

bassomitron@lemmy.world on 23 May 2024 18:47 next collapse

That post on mastodon claiming that it strictly came from a reddit post could purely be coincidental. If you Google “how common is glue in food,” you’ll find a ton of links talking about commercials using stuff other than food in food commercials/ads to make the food/drink look more “vivid/full/whatever.”

iAmTheTot@kbin.social on 23 May 2024 19:11 next collapse

Don't browse mastadon. I came to this conclusion myself after finding the reddit post in question. The answer from Google wouldn't pass a plagiarism test, the wording was nearly identical.

treefrog@lemm.ee on 23 May 2024 19:25 next collapse

If I had altered a primary source this little on a term paper I would get flagged for plagiarism.

The AI copy pasted down to the amount of cheese and then changed some words slightly to hide the theft.

It came from Reddit

11-year-old posts are fine. It’s not like pizza-cooking techniques become obsolete; if there’s old wisdom I still want it.

It’s just, you know, better not to quote shitposts, you know?

This thing where search engines only want new results is actually quite bad. I was looking for advice on exactly how to physically arrange the wiring and connections for some batteries in parallel. SearXNG gave me great results that were really helpful from electricians posting on old forums of varying age. DDG and Google only gave me bullshit SEO sites. But they were new!

PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca on 23 May 2024 18:16 next collapse

As a large language model I cannot comment on the ethical implications or legality of glue on pizza.

It is important to note that there are a variety of edible glues used in food production and if you are unsure, it is best to consult a professional. Remember, it is always best to bring any ethical or legal concerns about food glue to a registered dietician or other dietary professional.

Happy eating!
