I'm so happy that Google AI now pops up automatically to spew dangerous bullshit every time I search for something. (hexbear.net)

I wonder how many corporations have Mechanical Turk campaigns to game the AI system into thinking their products are safe for human consumption when they are not. It's the 21st century version of Philip Morris saying cigarettes are not addictive.

I was confused by the wording of this, so I searched, and it looks like they're two different products: Prime Energy vs Prime Hydration. I found this Men's Health article about Prime drinks and learned they're related to Logan Paul 🤢 and complete bs:

What's in PRIME Hydration?

There's two kinds of drinks that PRIME produces: Hydration and Energy.

Hydration is sold as bePRIME's sports drink. The company boasts the drink containing 10 percent coconut water, BCAAs, B-vitamins, electrolytes, and antioxidants.

However, there doesn't seem to be enough of any of those things to reap their benefits, says Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D.N., ...

and the Energy one is full of caffeine 🤷

idk, I'm not trying to stick up for Google, I switched to DDG entirely because I was so tired of skipping past AI bullshit to find answers, I just don't think this is a good example of the AI being wrong. Prime Energy is bad for kids, Prime Hydration is fine*.

(* - like kool-aid and pop are "fine")

Yea, I think this is one of those rare examples where it didn't get it massively wrong

Last few searches I've done on DDG have had some AI nonsense at the top

Prime Hydration isn't the same thing as Prime Energy. I thought the same thing, but it's like gatorade+. Electrolyte drinks are really popular nowadays. :idiocracy:

“Hi, I would like to Google this question…”

“Hey, why don’t you use our new AI fea…”

“No”

“Too bad! We’re going to force you to use it and burn down an acre of forest anyways!”
