They're very real. There's also one telling people to eat glue, which got a lot of attention recently. Lol

The actually scary thing is when the AI suggestions become less ridiculous. It seems very unlikely for anyone to try to sauté garlic in gasoline, but at a certain point these suggestions are going to sound more reasonable but be equally as dangerous. Say, what medication is safe. Or what to do in an emergency. Those are the things that are going to get people killed.

I'm extremely surprised we haven't seen the Ai telling people that mixing vinegar and bleach makes a killer cleaner

See, you say that, but...

That's pretty wild but it's not quite suggesting you mix them. And I run vinegar in my washing machine regularly and never had any problems on the rare occasions I use bleach instead.

Well in all fairness it would be, just think how clean the person lungs would be.

I would guess that it is to busy suggesting ammonia and bleach.

Actually I looked and at least Google passes the don't mix poisonous gasses in you home test. Maybe not a high bar, but hell the floor has to be somewhere right?

Bleach is such a fun ingredient! Did you know if you mix bleach and rubbing alcohol you get chloroform?

Those are the things that are going to get people killed.

And Google will be held accountable right.... Right?
