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 ❤️❤️❤️

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 29 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] HuddaBudda@kbin.social 25 points 6 months ago

That is... hilarious.

[-] arockinyourshoe@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

a dude named fucksmith.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 71 points 6 months ago

Relax, you guys. It clearly says to use non-toxic glue. SHEEESH. People with their anti-pizza-glue agenda.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 30 points 6 months ago

Nice, they blocked/corrected some prompts but not that one

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"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?

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 months ago

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"

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

‘Inflammable’ means flammable?

What a country.

The glue eating child me sees no problem with this! 😂 Let them eat Elmer's I say!

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

They should capitalize on this and just release a cheese flavored glue.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 61 points 6 months ago

AI will kill us all. But not how we thought it would.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago

Americans will do anything to avoid using proper cheese.

[-] sxt@lemmy.world 54 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[-] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Trump waddles into the chat.

Best tasting bleach there is, and no one knows more about this stuff than me. It’s a good way to stop the virus. We can bring this into the body, you know, almost like a cleaning. Or hit the body with a very powerful light. Sounds interesting. We’ve got guys looking into that, too.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 36 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[-] CandleTiger@programming.dev 15 points 6 months ago

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!

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

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."

[-] treefrog@lemm.ee 24 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If I had altered a primary source this little on a term paper I would get flagged for plagiarism.

The AI copy pasted down to the amount of cheese and then changed some words slightly to hide the theft.

It came from Reddit

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

You're right, I somehow missed that it mentioned the exact same amount, heh

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Toribor@corndog.social 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that's what they use for commercials.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

Not just suggested, confidently asserted from an authority position.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 months ago

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!

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

I really hope we don't have to watch AI to go though all the various shitshow phases of reddit history, like the racist subs, fat people hate, jailbait, etc.

[-] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 6 months ago

Now I want a GPT that was only trained on /b/ and /pol/

Reddit and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

[-] Rozauhtuno 3 points 6 months ago

But at least it had nudes.

[-] timmymac@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.ml 15 points 6 months ago

It's Elmer's Glue. Kindergartners have been chugging it for years. What's the problem?

My understanding is that electrolytes are actually good for plants. Have you heard that?

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 4 points 6 months ago

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)

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

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.


The original article contains 375 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Isn't that used to make marketing photos of pizza look more appealing?

[-] Toes@ani.social 1 points 6 months ago

Well, its not wrong.
