I followed these steps, but just so happened to check on my mason jar 3-4 days in and saw tiny carbonation bubbles rapidly rising throughout.

I thought that may just be part of the process but double checked with a Google search on day 7 (when there were no bubbles in the container at all).

Turns out I had just grew a botulism culture and garlic in olive oil specifically is a fairly common way to grow this bio-toxins.

Had I not checked on it 3-4 days in I’d have been none the wiser and would have Darwinned my entire family.

Prompt with care and never trust AI dear people…

    I’ll see people responding to fucken lemmy comments with “i ran the question through gpt and…” like what the fuck?

    It’s literally the same thing as saying “I asked some RANDOM dude and this is what he said. Also I have no reason to believe he’s even the slightest bit educated.”

    If you really wanna just throw some fucking spaghetti at the wall, YOU CAN DO THAT WITHOUT AI.

    This is coming from someone who hates google, but if this person’s entire family had died, I would put a LOT of that blame on them before google.

        Someone sell this commercial.

        Spaghetti-O’s! Pick up a can and feed your family, because AI might have told you to make botulism.

      I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.

        If they can’t do it themselves then they have no idea if the output is good. If they want to run it through the bullshit machine they shouldn’t post the output unless they know it is accurate.

      Can they, though? Sure, in theory Google could hire millions of people to write overviews that are equally idiotic, but obviously that is not something they would actually do.

      I think there’s an underlying ethical theory at play here, which goes something like: it is fine to fill internet with half-plagiarized nonsense, as long as nobody dies, or at least, as long as Google can’t be culpable.

        The millions of people writing overviews would definitely be more reliable, that’s for sure. For one thing, they understand the concept of facts.
