Genuine question: do you know that's what happened? This type of implementation can suggest things like this without it having to be in the training data in that format.
In this case, it seems pretty likely. We know Google paid Reddit to train on their data, and the result used the exact same measurement from this comment suggesting putting Elmer’s glue in the pizza:
https://old.reddit.com/r/Pizza/comments/1a19s0/my_cheese_slides_off_the_pizza_too_easily/
And their deal with Reddit: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-reddit-60-million-deal-ai-training/
It's going to be hilarious to see these companies eventually abandon Reddit because it's giving them awful results, and then they're completely fucked
You're wrong. Anyone who has ever used Google knows Reddit is an absolute goldmine of valuable information. The problem is it's also full of jokes and puns and bad information, and AI isn't able to sort one from the other (yet).
This doesn't mean that there are reddit comments suggesting putting glue on pizza or even eating glue. It just means that the implementation of Google's LLM is half baked and built it's model in a weird way.
I literally linked you to the Reddit comment, and pointed out that Google’s response used the same measurements as the comment
Are you an LLM?
Oh, hah sorry! thanks, I didn't realise that the reddit link pointed to the glue thing
Yes
