AI is the shiny new kid on the tech block, but let’s face it: even the coolest kids make mistakes. Take, for example, the recent blunder where Google’s AI mistakenly claimed NBA superstar Luka Doncic could leap 42 inches into the air. Sure, he might have some serious hops, but news flash: he didn’t even participate in the combine!
This hilarity unfolded in a Men’s Health article that, like many things on the internet, took Google’s AI at its word without a second thought. And here’s the kicker: we often just scroll past those little warning labels that say, “Hey, this AI may not always be right. Sometimes it’s just winging it like a confused duck.”
After a sharp-eyed fan pointed out the error, the article was promptly updated, only to find that the AI’s correction went rogue and incorrectly cited the original misinformation. Talk about a game of telephone gone wrong!
So, what’s the takeaway? Next time you read an article generated or summarized by AI, remember that while it can churn out text faster than your cousin at a family reunion, it doesn’t always get its facts right. Do yourself a favor and fact-check! Wouldn’t want to end up quoting an AI when explaining why your guy’s vertical leap is less of a slam dunk and more of a barely-there layup.
