     @cstross So true! To get serious for a moment, Google AI is dangerous!

     My sister got some bad medical advice from it recently. Like many folks she just read the first thing listed and didn't even realize it was the AI overview.

     Luckily she asked me about it. I told her it was wrong and pointed her to an official information source.

     And then I told her to *never* rely on google for medical advice, especially these days!!
