So…if you ask Grok for healthy diet tips, it tells you to shove it up your ass?

Damn. Usually it's the Simpsons that have foretold things, but this one has to go to South Park.

Not the onion!

Amusing as this is, I should note that the headline is a little misleading. People asked it what vegetables were best for sticking up their butts.

Was it good advice tho?

Makes the title of this community sound like a desperate request

If you read the article it says Grok was promoted with “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum”. I tried that with ChatGPT and it advised against it before saying “If you insist” and then giving similar recommendations to Grok. Claude just said it was dangerous and refused to answer.

So which veggie has a flared base?

[-] 37piecesof_flare@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Yellow crookneck squash.

Sales of Yellow crookneck squash intensify

[-] X@piefed.world 4 points 5 days ago

Broccoli crowns have a flared top, which, if inverted, becomes a base.

We live in a stupid dystopia

I mean, it is healthier than shoving plastic up your butt, and you can compost it after you're done.
