I stopped getting an AI overview for the exact query.

But minor tweaks like "in the week, how many days are there, that have fish in them" still get nonsense

@GossiTheDog

A get a different hallucination. Wow.

@nxadm@infosec.exchange @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social @haploc@fedi.cr-net.be wow so this is how google search dies, neat

[nickynah@rebel.ar]

@GossiTheDog WTF is even broken in Spanish

[threesigma@mastodon.online]

@GossiTheDog don’t worry, they are improving it. It told me only two days.

[tobtobxx@fosstodon.org]

@GossiTheDog This is exactly the problem. Compare to the output of gemma 4 e2b (literally the weakest current model you can run at home on most laptops) below.

...me trying to jailbreak models while Redditors do it accidentally.

[theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social]

@hszakher @catsalad @rx13 @GossiTheDog lol, it looks like there it listed Tuesday as one of the days because it previously said "two days"... And they share letters...

And listed Friday because fish shares letters with Fri.

@GossiTheDog

I dunno, an ai said it? They're really expensive. It must be true. Sigh. Ill start changing my calendars

[dendari@mastodon.world]

@GossiTheDog
It's getting better. Google now tells me there are only 2 days with fish in the name. Plus I should eat fish 2 times a week. It has no opinion on mercury levels though.

@GossiTheDog while it seems fixed for me with the original query, I can reproduce getting nonsensical replies in German:

[poleguy@mastodon.social]

@Lightfighter @CliftonR @GossiTheDog if you recognize the answer as correct (or wrong) you didn't need the ai.

[rakowskibartosz@hachyderm.io]

@GossiTheDog good it still can find letters in words.

[wachoperro@rebel.ar]

@GossiTheDog
It didn't work now, so i tested a classic one and... Hey, at least "it's" "trying"

[poleguy@mastodon.social]

@Lightfighter @CliftonR @GossiTheDog and if you _don't_ know if the answer is correct (or wrong) you shouldn't use the ai answer... except maybe in cases where a guess is useful?

[saucetweet@defcon.social]

@GossiTheDog funny thing it says two days for me and I don't even see reddit as a source listed.

[cliftonr@wandering.shop]

@poleguy @Lightfighter @GossiTheDog

I think they were being ironic about it.

[poleguy@mastodon.social]

@CliftonR @Lightfighter @GossiTheDog Yes, I didn't miss the irony! I very much agree.

I'm just preaching to the choir a bit, just like everyone else here. And the echo in the chamber here makes my voice sound great!

It's fun, but, now I'll stop typing and just carry on singing in my head.

[gossithedog@cyberplace.social]

There's an AI company where you pay them and they'll get anything you want into GenAI results via Reddit.
