I can literally never reproduce these. I've tried several times now.
That just might be fake
At one point they were packing a shitload of usb ports onto the IO panel, 5 stacks of 4 ports wouldnt surprise me
Yeah, I never get these strange AI results.
Except, the other day I wanted to convert some units and the AI results was having a fucking stroke for some reason. The numbers did not make sense at all. Never seen it do that before, but alas, I did not take a screenshot.
Meanwhile, GNU Units can do that, reliably and consistently, on a freaking 486. 😂
Usually I'll see something mild or something niche get wildly messed up.
I think a few times I managed to get a query from a post in, but I think they are monitoring for viral bad queries and very quickly massage it one way or another to not provide the ridiculous answer. For example a fair amount of times the AI overview just would be seemingly disabled for queries I found in these sorts of posts.
Also have to contend with the reality that people can trivially fake it and if the AI isn't weird enough, they will inject a weirdness to get their content to be more interesting.
I've been able to reproduce some, like the "how to carry <insert anything here> across a river" one where it always turns it into the fox, goose and grain puzzle.
But generally on anything that's gone viral, by the time you try to reproduce it someone has already gone in and hard-coded a fix to prevent it from giving the same stupid answer going forward.
At least one dumb one was reproducible, I’d look for it but it was probably a few hundred comments ago
The "sauce vs dressing" one worked for me when I first heard about it, but in the following days it refused to give an AI answer and now has a "reasonable" AI answer
The original, if you haven't seen it:
Love it :D
Because they’re fake.
I agree. People used to get so mad at me for suggesting that for some reason
Try why I eat Vim?
I don't get it ...?
Seems yours is different than mine, there are two things called vim. There is a Vim text editor and a Vim dishwash bar soap. For some reason Gemini thinks you want to eat the text editor which honestly is very weird and if you scroll down it talks about why it is dangerous to eat soap. By the way the results changed to soap now, seems someone noticed how weird the answer was. This proves just how stupid Gemini is, would you ever think someone eats text editers?
Well I was just saying originally I cannot reproduce the ones that end up as posts. When you wrote this comment here I wasn't sure what to expect, and after trying the query myself, was further perplexed. I'm not aware of that soap, but yes I did of course think it was a little silly that it needed to tell me I can't eat vim, but on the other hand for an LLM, that wasn't the silliest thing I've seen firsthand.
