IT at work wasn't happy when I responded to their "AI is now available!" announcement to remind them AI suggested glue as a pizza topping.

Again as funny this is not one of the dangerous ones, they are clearly dangerous and faulty.

Gemini reporting in a convinced tone slightly wrong payroll tax rates (see attached screenshots, it claims they are current for this year even, and provides a kind of correct, but top-level URL)

Notice the little whopper, the pension part: 10,25% is the actual employee part, according to a more detailed PDF here: https://www.sozialversicherung.at/cdscontent/load?contentid=10008.784719&version=1703166731 )

Note:
Gemini answered a German question about Austrian payroll taxes with a elegant, convincing answer, that contained seemingly all relevant information (it left out half a dozen of small ones in the <1% range out), with the wrong data (all the percentages are wrong, but most of them are off only by a small error).

And more believability to the big lie, it added a truly valid date when the update “social insurance thresholds, etc” usually happens.

As I like to point out, truth is a hard to nail down concept. Yes, the easy questions sound easy, but even these can have surprising twists.

Now you might want to discuss sharks and batteries with some MAGA acolytes. The insights you'll gain might surprise you.

But without somehow a way for a computer to measure truth to guide the training of the network involved, it's unfair from us to expect them to be truthful.
