I downloaded a scientific paper of great interest to me. It is of typical length, about 15 pages in the PDF. I opened it in Acrobat, and got this message highlighted at the top of the page next to an AI sparkle icon: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." I cannot put into words how much this enrages me. First, this is not a long document. Have you met documents? Second, and more important, telling someone to not read a thing they want to read??! Fuck you, Adobe.
@annaleen not only that, but the summary has probably a 50% likelihood of being wrong
@carolannie @annaleen But...but... maybe glue really *does* work to keep toppings on pizza!

I bet it does. The requirements for that answer didn't say the result had to be edible. Well, not explicitly. I think. That was a while ago, wasn't it?
@bjb @carolannie @annaleen I was thinking it was ages ago but it was just last May, less than a year! Time flies when the this-is-fine meme is reality. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ai-glue-pizza-i-tried-it-2024-5
Google AI said to put glue in pizza, so I put glue in pizza

Google's AI Overviews suggested adding glue to pizza sauce. I tried it. And ate it. Here's what all this tells us about the future of the web.

"(Since I know you're wondering, yes, I did eat paste as a kid. I loved it. It was minty. I stopped only because of shame from the other first graders. But now I'm an adult and can't be shamed for eating glue pizza.)"

Oh my.
