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.

I've got tens of thousands of stupid comments left behind on reddit. I really hope I get to contaminate an ai in such a great way.
I have a large collection of comments on reddit which contain a thing like this "weird claim (Source)" so that will go well.
Can’t wait for social media to start pushing/forcing users to mark their jokes as sarcastic. You wouldn’t want some poor bot to miss the joke
Funny you would say that, as I posted my jokes like that just to prevent random people from seeing the post and not thinking about if it was a joke or not (also to teach people to at least skim the fucking links). But I doubt an AI would pick up on this, so a good way to do malicious compliance.
Reddit has the /s tag to mark sarcasm. Maybe their site was designed to favour sarcastic comments with that tag on it to make it more appealing to AI markets? Just kidding... mostly.
/s predates Reddit by like a decade or more. You'll probably find examples on Usenet.
I have 3 equal theories on how this happened.
and yet if you actually read the very visible timestamp on the shared image, you'd see "11y ago", which would tell you fairly clearly what is what
pretty equal hypotheses indeed! you're a master cognician!

Bots have been around for a long time. I started Reddit in 2014 and bots were prolific.
Sure, but they were also much more primitive, mostly simple replies or copying other comments.
There were some really good ones. Most of us didn't realize what they were at first, myself included. They're a lot like what's here on Lemmy, we don't qualify for the live propaganda people and the good ones. NOT that I want them to show up, they are very, very good.
Sure very good ones, and not a 'use simple botting commands for simple answers, and as soon as you encounter something weird get a real human to react'
Ah, how thoughtful and concise an attempt at backtracking from how thoroughly you put your foot in it
Doesn’t seem to have been successful though
Lmao, k.
this is what it looks like when you say stupid inaccurate shit online? you seriously just keep digging until someone calls you out then the best you can do is “lmao k?” fuck off
Accidental transpose of an and m, the internet-old way for self-identification of suckage to be misconstrued as an attempt at humour. As the great qdb once said, “the keys are like right next to each other, happens to me all the time!”
This is one of the worst comment chains this week, great stuff. Makes me want to kill myself or bang my head into a wall
My man, you're taking this shit way too seriously.
