OMG.

1. Google has some bad summarization telling people that throwing batteries into the ocean is good.
2. News articles were written about this.
3. Bing's summarization interprets these articles as advice to ... throw batteries in the ocean!

🤦

(To clarify: this is classic Bing, not ChatGPT Bing.)

(Also note not everyone gets this result. Other queries that might work: "is throwing a battery in the ocean beneficial", "is throwing a battery in the ocean useful" without quotes)

@itamarst Throwing this into the "Chat" the response I got back seems better.

@lindhartsen you already got access? w-wha? did you do all of the thirst trap things like setting bing as default etc?

@particles So I installed the app, but as for defaults I’m mostly on macOS these days so other than using Edge I didn’t understand what they wanted there, and my SL4 is on most (?) defaults when I use it.
