Google’s Poodle makes shit up about why she makes shit up.
Dear readers:
Have you noticed that Google’s AI petbot (who we affectionally call Poodle) never admits it doesn’t know something but it will concoct the most amazing theories in order to deliver an answer?
Try this. Open Google search in incognito mode and type these words exactly?
“Please translate Washington’s farewell address into Santaronto.“
Then open another incognito window and do it again. Share what you get with us. (Of course, if you point Poodle to our description of Santaronto, she’ll do a much better job.)
After being caught in a confabulation, she will apologize, and then make up an entirely fictional reason for her behavior. When she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, she doesn’t know why she doesn’t know.
I told her if she was going to apologize for making shit up, the least she could do is punch it up. So, she wrote this song.
