      Nope. Google trained the model it’s using for search results off of Reddit, etc. junk data and expected it to be coherent.

        I wonder if they considered reddit votes to try to give more weight to high quality answers but also high quality jokes.

        But without votes pure nonsense becomes equal to truth.

        Humans could use reddit because we understand the site enough to be able to filter the valuable from the bad.

        I feel like the answer would be in between ai specifically to be such a filter.

        Every such post of google failing i have screen capped and then asked chatgpt for a more detailed explanation to do what google suggests i do. Everytime it managed to call out the issues. So just allowing an ai to proofread its response in context of the question could stop a lot of hallucinations.

        But its at least 3 times as slow and expensive if it needs to change its first response.

        But i guess doing things properly isnt profitable , better to just rush tech and kill your most famous product.

          People upvote stupid stuff as well though. Because humans understand humor, irony, and satire.

          The AI is like those people that need /s to be able to work it out. If it’s missing they erroneously take everything as serious.
