the question "is it 2027 next year" is badly formed English tense wise. Maybe that throws Google for a loop and scrambles whatever meaning it was putting together. However the properly formed question "will it be 2027 next year" results in the same garbage

AI is Automated Stupidity mislabeled as Artificial Intelligence.

🤣 @wordivorous.bsky.social we just had a discussion on this too lol

The bubble letters on the calendar didn't help. 5 looks a lot like a 6 when written with bubble letters 🙃

*looks at the reference image on the right* is it... Referencing itself??? Until it breaks itself? Good grief.

So revolutionary it bends time itself

I tried to ask what day 4th of July was. Forgetting that this shit happened. It said it was observed on July 3rd and the wrong day either way :D

Oh come on, don’t you get it? Google is not restricted by our limited dimensional constructs where time only flows forward. Who’s to say that 2028 won’t be followed by 2027? It’s our feeble human perceptions that are the problem—clearly.

I just don’t get why they’re doing it. Their value in Search has always been that they give the best answer the fastest, and they’re sabotaging themselves with these broken features. 🙃

It's just technology that is fundamentally untrustworthy in what text it generates. There's no thinking or understanding here. Never was. Also, there's a bunch of subtle bigotry from the training data that affects results too.

(i know) The issue is not "ai bad", but rather: why are we using AI for things that we already have very straightforward solutions to? Google used to be so FANTASTIC at what it did that it became a verb to mean searching very well. But AI integration has made google a joke.

Omigod, I just tried it. That's bananas.
