I just googled something and Google put its AI summary top, which incorrectly used a Facebook post - misinterpreting it. The Facebook post itself was an AI summary of a user post - which AI had also misinterpreted. The result is the Google answer was just total bollocks.

10/10 no notes.

@GossiTheDog I see this pretty much daily when I'm Googling for niche technical answers, and Google AI-ception happens via reddit, too.

AI misunderstood the question, AI misunderstood the answer that AI wrote that was based on information did AI didn't understand in the first place.

@plaidtron3000 @GossiTheDog
True, Plaid, except Ai does not have any understanding.

@Guillotine_Jones @GossiTheDog You could read "misunderstands" as "fails to understand", if that helps.

But it's a distinction without a difference in the outcome.

@plaidtron3000 @Guillotine_Jones @GossiTheDog LLMs don’t ’understand’ anything - I much prefer your phrasing!
