Just perfect. Google’s Super Bowl commercial (these are reported to cost $8 million per spot) spotlighting Google’s AI had a hallucination in it. And Google’s executive doing “clean up” is the same one who testified as to their inflating ad prices by manipulating auditions.
This is really such a perfect illustration of everything from Google’s approach to information integrity to even its shifting executives around to avoid accountability.
The local commercial, which advertises how people can use “A1 for every
business”, showcases Gemini’s abilities by depicting the tool helping a
cheesemonger in Wisconsin to write a product description, including the
erroneous line that gouda accounts for “50% to 60% of global cheese
consumption”
However, a blogger posted on X that the stat was an “A1 hallucination” that is “unequivocally false”, as more reliable data suggests the Dutch cheese is probably less popular than cheddar or mozzarella.
The blogger Nate Hake added: “I found the above A1 slop example in 20
minutes, and on the first Super Bowl ad I tried factchecking.”
Replying to him, the Google executive Jerry Dischler said this was not a
“hallucination” – where A1 systems invent untrue information – but rather a reflection of the fact the untrue information is contained in the websites that Gemini scrapes.
