There's a saying..."Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in fruit salad."
Meanwhile, LLMs are telling us to put glue on pizza so the cheese sticks.

Yes, but the general population doesn't expect shitposts from their Google search. When I'm reading a meme community I want shitposts. When I'm googling recipies, I'm looking for reliable instructions on how to make dinner. It's all part of the whole "LLMs don't know what they're saying" issue.
Yeah, fair.
