An attempt to "enhance" a dinner photo resulted in surreal distortions, including a bouquet of balloons appearing out of nowhere and a woman's arm being rendered to a monstrous size. The resulting image became a viral joke among the show's producers.

New tools like "Nepenthes" are being developed to trap these bots in infinite loops of static files to poison their data sets. The shift from search engines to answer-bots like Gemini and Perplexity threatens to collapse the $2.6 billion digital advertising economy that sustains independent publishers.

The hosts criticize this as "anthropomorphizing" software, though they acknowledge issues like "sycophancy" where AI provides false affirmation to users. A specific instance of Google Gemini telling a student to "die" is cited as a dangerous outlier.

The hosts argue this is a "PR nightmare" and a "dumb" move that ruins the concept of SEO and increases search costs sevenfold. They suggest a long-term "short" on Alphabet stock, predicting that the removal of links will alienate users and advertisers.

However, a personal experiment using multiple AIs to script a Unix-based radio program resulted in failure, with the AI providing circular errors and incorrect documentation. The experience highlighted the current limitations of AI in handling specific, high-level technical tasks despite marketing claims.

Meanwhile, Google was forced to pull an AI advertisement titled "Dear Sydney" after viewers criticized the idea of using Gemini to write a fan letter for a child. The backlash centered on the belief that AI should not replace personal inspiration and human effort.

The hosts argue that calling these tools "artificial intelligence" is a fallacy, as they are merely large language models predicting the next word in a sequence. Apple is noted for its cautious approach, avoiding the integration of potentially "retarded" AI into Siri.

These glitches follow the controversial launch of Google's Gemini, which was criticized for its heavy-handed DEI filters. Engineers suggest that training AI on unfiltered internet data, such as Twitter, leads to "rogue" outputs that reflect the most toxic elements of the web.

Journalist Matt Taibbi reported that the AI also generated false "deepfake" controversies about his own career, highlighting the dystopian potential of biased AI.
