Where this came from is commercials would add glue to the cheese to get the "cheese pull" effect for the camera.
I am not a bot. Probably.
According to Mastodon:
The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith.
That’s fucking brilliant. Post truth era ❤️❤️❤️
Look at that comment yo upvote ratio. A human user could easily tell just from that the advice is questionable, but the machine thinks it's a highly engaging comment and values it more than a highly upvoted comment with no discussion under it.
That is... hilarious.
a dude named fucksmith.
Relax, you guys. It clearly says to use non-toxic glue. SHEEESH. People with their anti-pizza-glue agenda.
Nice, they blocked/corrected some prompts but not that one
"Non-toxic" is like "inflammable" right? It means highly toxic.
Anyway I used rubber cement and now I'm sweating bile. Is that a problem?
P.S.: If AI ever parrots back anything I've said online out of context I really hope it's, "Non-toxic is like inflammable"
‘Inflammable’ means flammable?
What a country.
The glue eating child me sees no problem with this! 😂 Let them eat Elmer's I say!
They should capitalize on this and just release a cheese flavored glue.
AI will kill us all. But not how we thought it would.
It's like the third season of Westworld where the AI is telling everyone what to do (e.g. assigns them jobs, determines if they're going to be criminals, etc) and people just blindly accept it.
Americans will do anything to avoid using proper cheese.
Another one I found:
Which is just this I think https://medium.com/@azalben/re-can-i-drink-this-delicious-sounding-bleach-8b9db1326f9c
Granted I'm baiting it and it does say not to drink it.

The result in the screenshot is taken almost wholesale from a 11 y/o reddit comment.
Let that sink in. 11 y/o comments on Reddit are what trained this AI and it is now spitting them out as results for people looking for help.
We are not long for this world.
11-year-old posts are fine. It’s not like pizza-cooking techniques become obsolete; if there’s old wisdom I still want it.
It’s just, you know, better not to quote shitposts, you know?
This thing where search engines only want new results is actually quite bad. I was looking for advice on exactly how to physically arrange the wiring and connections for some batteries in parallel. SearXNG gave me great results that were really helpful from electricians posting on old forums of varying age. DDG and Google only gave me bullshit SEO sites. But they were new!
That post on mastodon claiming that it strictly came from a reddit post could purely be coincidental. If you Google "how common is glue in food," you'll find a ton of links talking about commercials using stuff other than food in food commercials/ads to make the food/drink look more "vivid/full/whatever."
Don't browse mastadon. I came to this conclusion myself after finding the reddit post in question. The answer from Google wouldn't pass a plagiarism test, the wording was nearly identical.
Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that's what they use for commercials.
Not just suggested, confidently asserted from an authority position.
As a large language model I cannot comment on the ethical implications or legality of glue on pizza.
It is important to note that there are a variety of edible glues used in food production and if you are unsure, it is best to consult a professional. Remember, it is always best to bring any ethical or legal concerns about food glue to a registered dietician or other dietary professional.
Happy eating!
Even though not ai related it reminds of the time when kids were told to microwave their ipods to charge the battery. My niece did it. She's a moron.
It's Elmer's Glue. Kindergartners have been chugging it for years. What's the problem?

That thumbnail tho 🤤
We're one step closer to Cheesoid.
This image convinced me to make pizza. No glue, though I guess it technically involved flour and water (and starch and/or cellulose on the pre-shredded cheese)
Don't knock it till you try it!
Isn't that used to make marketing photos of pizza look more appealing?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A screenshot of the summary it generated, shared on X, shows it responded with "cheese can slide off pizza for a number of reasons," and that the user could try adding "about ⅛ cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness."
Google started testing the AI Overviews feature in the US and the UK earlier this year and announced it would roll out more widely by the end of 2024.
In other cases, as Business Insider's Peter Kafka points out, one issue with generative AI engines is that they can just make things up.
Social media users have shared other examples of AI Overviews generating inaccurate responses, including when it said a "dog has played in the NHL."
They added that the "vast majority of AI Overviews provide high-quality information" and that it carried out "extensive testing" before it launched the feature.
Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
