At this point Google has zettabytes of data and there is no efficient way for them and their algorithms to realize what is going on exactly....but I sometimes still wonder how things like this happen.

When speaking about ranking I think they should enforce PageRank more because I don't see any other algorithm that is more simpler and more powerful than this one.

That one happened because Gemini read it on Reddit and hadn't figured it was a joke. It was only up there from its launch through till about four days later when someone removed it.

Yea, AI still can't figure out jokes, irony, metaphor etc. Perplexity also quotes Reddit very often, idk how smart is that.

It already exists in Gemini and it existed in Bard....now it's called "Double-check response". Here is pic of it in action: https://i.imgur.com/aIISzt5.png

It does not allow us to see the links behind the facts. Thats dismaying.
