    It’s not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I’ve head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.

    This is actually healthy. My dad smoked much more than that during my pregnancy and I turned out fine.

    It’s a joke, but I’m 43 and my mom knew others who were pregnant around the same time and told to smoke by actual doctors so they’d have a smaller baby and easier birth.

        Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.

        I doubt it, shit was different in 1980, doctors smoked in their offices until the 90s.

        Never forget just how evil tobacco companies are that they knew how addictive and damaging it was but suppressed it up for decades.

          I remember the big arguments about enacting a no smoking rule in meetings at work. Just the meeting rooms. It was of course presumed that people could smoke in their office.

      My grandmother started smoking after her doctor suggested that she take it up in order to help her lose weight after pregnancy. She smoked the rest of her life.

              Kind of a weird passive-aggressive statement js, they didn’t imply their grandma lived to be any particular age. In fact from the statement we can’t tell at all, “the rest of her life” could’ve been 6 months (she fell asleep with a cigarette in her mouth and the set the bed on fire).

        On a related note, I also wonder I wonder how many older people self-treated ADHD/ADD with nicotine without realizing what was going on.

          Still do. ADHD is still not recognized in lots of places and I certainly do, in form of vape. Tried lowering concentration only to find myself smoking at higher power and more often. Also, energy drinks, I don’t know what they put in them but withdrawal from them feels exactly like quitting smoking.

          Shit. I didn’t realize that I was doing this to myself until I got diagnosed as an adult about 10 years after I quit smoking.

      Nope, this was real.

      Google’s new search AI did many errors at release. This can be found online and include but not limited to:

      • It’s normal for cockroaches to live in someone’s penis
      • You should mix some glue while preparing a pizza
      • Overcoming depression is done by jumping off the Golden State Bridge
      • You should eat one small rock daily

      This was fixed manually per search topic that got viral, but they probably changed its configuration by now to trust reddit amd 4chan comments less.

        Source? Some of these were real, but there’s also a ton of fake bullshit floating around.

        The jumping off a bridge one is especially egregious. Searching things like that usually give you the phone number for the suicide hotline, but Google decided they have to show their stupid AI before anything else.

          The glue one was proven to be just a troll comment on Reddit from 12 years ago, and it fact some more were found to be just basing itsself on Reddit. Fine in theory, but did absolutely no proof check with other sources and so just took trolls as facts.

        AI has failed so many times it has joined the junkpile of online personalities that are so bad we can no longer tell the difference between their actual errors and those created as sarcasm.

        I realize that, but if every one of these posts isn’t reproducible it’s likely that’s because they’re bullshit.

        Ps. Thanks for the downvotes people. Make sure to say your daily curses against all AI because it BAD

      Why is this always the reaction by AI advocates when faced with major problems in AI?

      If you want to convince AI can potentially be a benefit and not a negative then denial is not the way.

      This kind of hasty implementati of AI by tech bros should absolutely be ridiculed, since it has real world consequences.

    I know a dude who’s a retired doctor specializing in sports medicine (he was the team doctor for a Big 10 college football team), and he smokes like a chimney. He likes to joke that he’s the 1/10 doctors that they don’t quote on TV ads
