Google rolled out AI overviews across the United States this month, exposing its flagship product to the hallucinations of large language models.

    And a lot of that content is probably an AI generated hallucination.

      Most of what I’ve seen in the news so far is due to content based on shitposts from reddit, which is even funnier imo

        I do dislike when the “actual news” starts bringing up social media reactions. Can you imagine a whole show based on the Twitter burns of this week? … it would probably be very popular. 😭

      Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:

      Prime and Mash / Kuru

      Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.
