Couldn't it also be case where the pesticides are fine to use on potatoes but not on tomatoes, for example?

No, pesticide are volatile and can poison water deep in earth no matter which thing was the initial target.

Yeah, middle schooler with middle school understanding can design anything. There are plenty of middle school solutions in the comments around. The problem is when they meet real world, beyond their high school level understanding of the issue.

Overwhelming majority of customers doesn't even know they can care. And most of them wouldn't anyway. So your vote doesn't matter to anyone but you, sadly.

> This theory appealed to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, who was asleep at his home in California when the rocket exploded. Within hours of hearing about the failure, Musk gravitated toward the simple answer of a projectile being shot through the rocket.

Man, the signs were always there, right? I think I only fully realized it in 2018 during the cave "incident".


Yes, significantly, but not recently. It can't search anymore. Like literally, it can't. You cannot reach a web page you know exists, like you used to.


> It messes up sometimes (very rarely)

I don't believe this for a second. It has constantly the worst output of any serious AI I've seen, by far. It's laughably wrong sometimes, usually just wrong. It can usually cope with mundane keyword searches where it's still better to just read the wiki blurb, because even those can be mangled.


It’s particularly bad if you ask it how to do something in any given application. Most of the time it just hallucinates UI elements that aren’t there at all and confidently gives you instructions on how to do said thing in a way that is literally impossible.

I think the model must be very lightweight since they’re automatically running most search queries through it and a decently powerful model like Gemini would cost far too much in compute.


Yeah I'm guessing it's using one of the gemini-flash-lite models which are really basic. What I don't get is how they settled on this idea rather than having full Gemini generate a good answer and CACHE IT rather than having this silly lite model generate a different answer a million times a day.


So you are not actually searching for anything on web. This is more about using google as a web search engine, something it could do maybe a decade ago.


I’m not sure what do you mean. Quite often I’m trying to find an answer to something whether it’s an event, rule, informational. All of them consistently answered for me on AI overview.


That's the distinction I was trying to make - looking for an answer vs. looking for some content on a website. There's overlap in those, and we used to use the web search to find answers, but you can't use chat to search web.


> there doesn't exist any situation, in any plane in any conditions, where holding the stick back the entire time would be an appropriate input

What about the Boeing crashes?


You say "normal" and then add the other paragraphs, which are very clearly not normal. Common maybe.


Why do you think they are arguing with you instead of adding to your comment?


I cannot find an interpretation that is an addendum. They are telling me I'm wrong
