Google is making last-minute changes to its Super Bowl ad after criticism regarding misleading information generated by its AI tool, Gemini. A user flagged an incorrect statement about Gouda cheese accounting for a significant portion of global cheese consumption. While Google defended the claim as derived from multiple online sources, they ultimately decided to revise the ad, collaborating with the cheesemonger featured to remove the disputed statistic. Confusion over accurate cheese popularity data remains, with cheddar and mozzarella often recognized as the most widely consumed cheeses.
"Hey Nate - not a hallucination, Gemini is grounded in the Web - and users can always check the results and references. In this case, multiple sites across the web include the 50-60% stat" - Jerry Dischler.
"Following his suggestion to have Gemini rewrite the product description without the stat, we updated the user interface to reflect what the business would do" - Google spokesperson.
