    Where this came from is commercials would add glue to the cheese to get the “cheese pull” effect for the camera.

    I am not a bot. Probably.

      According to Mastodon:

      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.

        Look at that comment yo upvote ratio. A human user could easily tell just from that the advice is questionable, but the machine thinks it’s a highly engaging comment and values it more than a highly upvoted comment with no discussion under it.

      “Non-toxic” is like “inflammable” right? It means highly toxic.

      Anyway I used rubber cement and now I’m sweating bile. Is that a problem?

      Best tasting bleach there is, and no one knows more about this stuff than me. It’s a good way to stop the virus. We can bring this into the body, you know, almost like a cleaning. Or hit the body with a very powerful light. Sounds interesting. We’ve got guys looking into that, too.

    The result in the screenshot is taken almost wholesale from a 11 y/o reddit comment.

    Let that sink in. 11 y/o comments on Reddit are what trained this AI and it is now spitting them out as results for people looking for help.

    We are not long for this world.

      11-year-old posts are fine. It’s not like pizza-cooking techniques become obsolete; if there’s old wisdom I still want it.

      It’s just, you know, better not to quote shitposts, you know?

      This thing where search engines only want new results is actually quite bad. I was looking for advice on exactly how to physically arrange the wiring and connections for some batteries in parallel. SearXNG gave me great results that were really helpful from electricians posting on old forums of varying age. DDG and Google only gave me bullshit SEO sites. But they were new!

      That post on mastodon claiming that it strictly came from a reddit post could purely be coincidental. If you Google “how common is glue in food,” you’ll find a ton of links talking about commercials using stuff other than food in food commercials/ads to make the food/drink look more “vivid/full/whatever.”

        If I had altered a primary source this little on a term paper I would get flagged for plagiarism.

        The AI copy pasted down to the amount of cheese and then changed some words slightly to hide the theft.

        It came from Reddit

        Don’t browse mastadon. I came to this conclusion myself after finding the reddit post in question. The answer from Google wouldn’t pass a plagiarism test, the wording was nearly identical.

    As a large language model I cannot comment on the ethical implications or legality of glue on pizza.

    It is important to note that there are a variety of edible glues used in food production and if you are unsure, it is best to consult a professional. Remember, it is always best to bring any ethical or legal concerns about food glue to a registered dietician or other dietary professional.

    Happy eating!
