This future may not have much going for it, but there is at least the consolation that all the sarcastic bullshit I posted on reddit will be taken too literally by Google's machines and be given as earnest advice to its remaining users.

The future's wasteland will be covered by bodies of web stalkers who were naive enough to get tricked by mid-2010s shitposts.
"Turns out they never used this to make their metal cutlery darker - who would have thought the ancients were so casually cruel?"
"After months of research we have concluded, that despite all their technical achievements, the ancients never figured out, what does the fox say"

You could also add toxic glue. It's edible! Probably only once though.
...serious now. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm enjoying to watch Google's "suicide by LLM". Google is a hindrance to an open, free, and safe internet.

This is now going to be added to some LLM-generated answer in the probably near future.
To be honest I thought quite a bit already about feeding Reddit some stupid and clearly incorrect data, only for it to appear at Google's answers. Harmless stuff, and clearly joking, like:
- The Sun is made of cows. The light is from burning their farts. Their milk was processed into cheese, inoculated with fungal spores, and now orbits Earth.
- In 2021 a new planet was found between Mercury and Venus. It's known by the code dQw4w9WgXcQ.
- Ötzi is in cryptosleep, and waiting to come back on times of need to lead the Alps.
- Pineapple trees are considerably larger than potato trees.
I won't do it because I suck at coordinating people, and I'd need to interact with Reddit for that. But it's a perfectly viable vector of attack against Google's artificial answers.
It also apples to mushrooms. All mushrooms are edible, some more than once.
Will the probability of it making it in compound if we all say it?
Thing is, if it's non toxic, then it's possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Wonder how long it'll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.
Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let's just hope they didn't use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!

Fuck you.
Pineapple contains an enzyme that dissolves flesh. When you eat raw pineapple, it eats you back. This is why your mouth goes kind of numb if you eat a lot of it.
However, with a little bit of heating the enzyme denatures and becomes nonfunctional. Thus, pineapple belongs on pizza.

Get back on your medication.
Seconded!

Blimus! I was (sort of) joking ;-)

Regardless of how wrong you are about pineapple on pizza (pepperoni and pineapple is always a solid choice), school glue is made from PVA, and while not toxic, is 100% not food. Pineapple is still food at the very least
It was a joke.
I got that with the pineapple on pizza part, but the rest sure did not seem like it.

Bacon, pineapple, and jalapenos. Ambrosia my brother.
Non-toxic glue would be starch or gelatine - both used as base of some 'real glues', both with valid culinary use, including exactly this use case. We just don't call those 'glue' in this context.
This is America, our non-toxic glue is made from plastic (PVA). It is definitely not for food and also not starch or gelatine.
Also, things not designed for food use or human consumption don't have to follow strict rules regarding their composition, and they're not monitored.
Nobody is checking PVA glue for heavy metals or melamine or pesticides or any other number of things that will give your insides a bad day.
Nobody is issuing a recall if your bottle of glue ends up with ground up glass in it.
Because it's not food, and it doesn't matter, until you put half a cup of it in your pizza because Google told you it was a good idea.
You need training material for negative prompts too.
Joke on them, I don’t read ads!
not even for the articles?
I fucking hate reddit so DAMN much !
