You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)

Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of  AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem."

In terms of language, Chatgpt is more advanced than most humans.

The internet is getting flooded with content that reads like a 10th grade book report written the hour before the test. When you can give me an internet that isn't overflowing with mindless slop that says nothing new and pictures of uncanny people smiling with too many teeth, then I might start to believe it's better than people in some way.

In the meantime, I would encourage everyone else to maintain and encourage human connections, hand-written material and actual human interaction. Write and draw. Don't be lazy and let your lazy brain convince yourself that any of this is making you better at anything.

Yeha, and walk everywhere. Use a boat with paddles. Don't be lazy.
