"You Can't Lick a Badger Twice": Google's AI Is Making Up Explanations for Nonexistent Folksy Sayings
Briefly

A peculiar situation arose when Google's AI generated meanings for fabricated idioms like 'you can't lick a badger twice,' erroneously attributing meanings to phrases that do not exist. This phenomenon was exemplified by author Meaghan Wilson-Anastasios, who highlighted invented explanations, such as linking 'peanut butter platform heels' to an imaginary scientific study on diamond creation. The creative misfires from the AI underscore significant flaws in language models, known as 'hallucinations,' which often lead to misleading information and erroneous definitions, bewildering users seeking accurate insights.
