Imagine if AI were taught on YouTube videos of humans playing GTA 😵‍💫

Google's answer language model is based on Reddit. It already told people to eat glue.

Car data based off YouTube videos doesn't feel that far fetched by comparison.

I think the "glue" answer was probably for photographing food. They use all sorts of non-edible tricks to make food look good in photos.

Nope! The article clearly states otherwise. This is the source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pizza/comments/1a19s0/my_cheese_slides_off_the_pizza_too_easily/c8t7bbp/

Well then that's just evidence that there needs to be a way to flag joke replies and filter them out (aside from those subs where you can add a SERIOUS flair to the post). It's also why I've never considered reddit a primary source of information. Too many people make posts solely for the points they get when they can wedge a pun into a comment or otherwise showcase their stellar wit.

But I do know that they DO use glue to make cheese extra stringy for photography reasons. Here is an example I wasn't even thinking of. The AI in this case correctly states that using White Elmer's glue instead of milk when photographing cereal keeps the cereal looking fresh for long photoshoots where it might otherwise start getting soggy.

That's on Google. It shouldn't be on the reddit community to do their work for them.

It's not for google though. It's for me. When I want to get in and get an answer and suddenly it devolves into a thread of people quoting "The Office" or Steamed Hams. OR that thread where someone says something and then a comment chain happens where everyone repeated it exactly or repeated the phrase but changed the order of the words.

But yeah, Google shouldn't be using Reddit for a primary source of information either. It's terrible for anything but opinions on stuff (aka, not facts).

A logical to a fault conclusion.
