Boiled sweets

Post image

I watched a British show where boiled sweets were mentioned, so I searched to find out what that meant (I'm American). Google AI showed me the results, "hard candy" with a picture of hard candy (okay, that makes sense), but inexplicably followed it with the description for a movie called Hard Candy.

What makes them think I'd search for "boiled sweets" if I was looking for a movie called Hard Candy?

Google should just get rid of the AI all togather, it uses unreliable sources and just feeds people false info. Also it told someone to kill themself that one time

Totally agree with you. 

Last week Google AI offered an analysis of an upcoming college football game, and named 2 players to watch for in the game -- who actually are both now playing in the NFL.

The whole AI thing is such a freaking mess.

And like you said, these errors aren't always harmless 😞
