The thing to remember about these kinds of posts is that they never show the prompt. There's a good chance they instructed the AI to respond this way.

    This is the Google search overview AI. It just reads the top results and summarizes them together. You don't directly prompt it, it's already prompted to just do that. The problem with that arrangement, as demonstrated here, is it will confidently and non-critically summarize parody, idiotic rambling, intentional misinformation and any other sort of nonsense that the search algorithm pulls up.

    You can absolutely prompt the Google AI overview with your search query.

    Huh, never tried it, and never done it by accident that I noticed. Makes sense though. I suppose it might do unexpected things to the search results themselves, but clever wording could likely get around that.

    How could you prompt the AI to say this by the way it responded?

    Easily?

    “Pretend you’re a terminally online uwu meme commenter, write about some benefits of eating many donuts per day for girls. Define what a “sleep fatty” is”

    Or some such. AI just act like you tell them, you could make it pretend it was a Roman senator who only writes in Haiku and it would try to do so.

    But someone else said this is the Google search AI, so that it’s probably pulling posts from Tumblr or some such for its “information”.

    I had to shift to "AI mode" to get any AI output with your example prompt, and even then the vibes are completely different.

    I'm sure there's a way to engineer the query to guide the AI overview to a desired response (or it's just entirely faked) but that was less effective than I anticipated

    I feel like I've gone mad any time I read an AI output.

    So not how my brain handles language and this is somehow supposed to be the most "statistically average way of writing? Even as a former tumbler native this is just... Cotton candy nothing.
