I just tried to have Gemini navigate to the nearest Starbucks and the POS found one 8hrs and 38mins away.
Absolute trash.
Just tried it with Target and again, it's sending me to Raleigh, North Carolina.
It seems to think you need to leave Alabama but aren’t ready for a state as tolerable as Georgia
I would totally leave if the "salary to cost of living" ratio wasn't so damn good.
I'd move to Germany or the Netherlands or Sweden or Norway so fast if I could afford it.
that leads me to believe it thinks you are in North Carolina. have you allowed location to Gemini? Are you on a VPN?
No VPN, it all has proper location access. I even tried it with a local restaurant that I didn't think was a chain, and it found one in Tennessee. I'm like 10 minutes away from where I told it to go.
Despite that, it delivers its results with much applum!
Quality pum
Some "AI" LLMs resort to light hallucinations. And then ones like this straight-up gaslight you!
Factual accuracy in LLMs is "an area of active research", i.e. they haven't the foggiest how to make them stop spouting nonsense.
duckduckgo figured this out quite a while ago: just fucking summarize wikipedia articles and link to the precise section it lifted text from
We can't fleece investors with that though, needs more "AI".
Because accuracy requires that you make a reasonable distinction between truth and fiction, and that requires context, meaning, understanding. Hell, full humans aren't that great at this task. This isn't a small problem, I don't think you solve it without creating AGI.
MFer accidentally got "plum" right and didn't even know it...
Coconutum
You did WHAT to em?
I barely know 'em!
Ok, let me try listing words that ends in "um" that could be (even tangentially) considered food.
- Plum
- Gum
- Chum
- Rum
- Alum
- Rum, again
- Sea People
I think that's all of them.
Your mum.
Happy belated Mother's Day?
The Sea Peoples consumed by the Late Bronze Age collapse (or were a catalysts thereof)?
Or just people at sea eaten by krakens? Cause they definitely count.
It's a dirty joke.

Totally reproducible, just with slightly different prompts.
There's going to be an entire generation of people growing up with this and "learning" this way. It's like every tech company got together and agreed to kill any chance of smart kids.
Isn't it the opposite? Kids see so many examples of obviously wrong answers they learn to check everything
One can hope...
How do they know something is obviously wrong when they try to learn it? For "bananum" sure, for anything at school, college though?

And yet it doesn’t even list ‘Plum’, or did it think ‘Applum’ was just a variation of a plum?
Well, plum originally comes from applum which morphed into a plum so yeah.
And that's absolutely not true.

Strawberrum sounds like it'll be at least 20% abv. I'd like a nice cold glass of that.
Strawberrum? Barely knew 'em!
It's crazy how bad d AI gets of you make it list names ending with a certain pattern. I wonder why that is.
I'm not an expert, but it has something to do with full words vs partial words. It also can't play wordle because it doesn't have a proper concept of individual letters in that way, its trained to only handle full words

LLMs aren't really capable of understanding spelling. They're token prediction machines.
LLMs have three major components: a massive database of "relatedness" (how closely related the meaning of tokens are), a transformer (figuring out which of the previous words have the most contextual meaning), and statistical modeling (the likelihood of the next word, like what your cell phone does.)
LLMs don't have any capability to understand spelling, unless it's something it's been specifically trained on, like "color" vs "colour" which is discussed in many training texts.
"Fruits ending in 'um' " or "Australian towns beginning with 'T' " aren't talked about in the training data enough to build a strong enough relatedness database for, so it's incapable of answering those sorts of questions.
It can't see what tokens it puts out, you would need additional passes on the output for it to get it right. It's computationally expensive, so I'm pretty sure that didn't happen here.

Gemini thought we name food like we name a periodic table
plutonium is food once
A gram of plutonium has enough calories to last you the rest of your life.
Applum bananum jeans, boots with the fur.
AI is truly going to change the world.
30 years from now: "Haven't they always been called Strawberrums?"
We've always been at war with Bananum!
Looks like someone set Google to "Herakles Mode".
Tomatum.. that's the one
Ok, I feel like there has been more than enough articles to explain that these things don't understand logic. Seriously. Misunderstanding their capabilities at this point is getting old. It's time to start making stupid painful.
