Google's AI Overview reviewed a fake (9/11/2001) Mamdani tweet as real and declared it "highly insensitive"

[highplainsdem]

Twitter didn't exist in 2001 (it was created in.2006). And Mamdani was 9 years old on 9/11. But hey, true believers in AI will trust AI Overview...

Absolutely egregious fail by Google AI overviews.

1. Sue for defamation

Even it goes nowhere, have to fight.

3. Great idea. And sue for exactly the same number of billions that IQ47 is suing CBS for

That would be perfect IMHO.

2. Disgusting but it won't end here.

4. Coming to the conclusion that AI

is neither.

5. Good one!

I definitely smell a rat with this one.

6. Zohran Mamdani was born on 10/18/1991.

As a 10 year old on 9/11/2001, I sincerely doubt he said this.

7. All the maggots will say is...

Where's his birth certificate?

8. Amazing how gullible and stupid people can be when blinded by hatred:

"Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,”wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism.

“I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

9. This is ignorant beyond belief.

Not only wrong about Mamdani and 9/11, but she’s also old enough to know Twitter wasn’t around in 2001. Also, she thinks the Israeli government was behind 9/11? smdh

10. It is indeed.

This is Islamophobia, she doesn't know the difference between Hamas and the Taliban but blames Mamdani for both simply because he's Muslim.
