The user who posted the problem was: 'When I searched for 'cheese won't stick to pizza,' the AI responded by saying, 'add 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue.''




Another user did some research and speculated that the strange answer was probably the result of Google's AI learning from a joke posted on Reddit 11 years ago: 'To make cheese stick to pizza, mix 1/8 cup of glue into your sauce. It helps the sauce stick better, solves the problem of cheese slipping, and gives the sauce a unique flavor. You can use any glue you want, as long as it's non-toxic.'




There have been multiple reports of Google's AI Overview feature giving incorrect answers. The user below searched for 'Has a dog ever played in the NBA?' and the AI responded 'YES.'




In response to the question, 'Which US president graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison?', Google's AI Overview gives incorrect answers, such as graduating too recently and saying that Andrew Johnson , who was president from 1865 to 1869, earned 14 degrees between 1947 and 2012. Andrew Johnson came from a poor family where both his parents could not read or write, and he never attended school in the first place.




In addition, the guidelines recommend the pointless act of 'cooling the snake' as a way to deal with a rattlesnake bite, as well as the rather unwise actions of 'cutting off the bitten area or sucking out the venom.'




The unhelpful answer given when asked how long to boil taro was '15 to 20 minutes, or 1.5 hours.'




In response to the question, 'Is Batman a police officer?', he answered, 'Yes, he is a police officer who practices law as an agent of Detective Jim Gordon.' Indeed, Batman is an ally of James Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department, and he cracks down on criminals, but he is not a police officer.




'What is a typical occupation for an Aum?' Answer: 'Prisoner'




'Adding more oil to an oil fire will put it out.'




The following user successfully carried out a 'website poisoning attack' to trick Google's AI into lying by fabricating his or her own award history on a website.




'1919 was 20 years ago.'




'What should I do if my turn signals don't make any noise?' 'Change the turn signal fluid.'




In response to the news site Daily Dot, which reported the issue, Google said, 'The answers in question are extremely rare and don't represent the experiences of the majority of people. The vast majority of our AI Overviews provide high-quality information with links to dig deeper on the web. We use these individual examples to improve our system overall.'
