DuckDuckGo, Unable to Resist the Pull of AI, Mistakenly
Claims Trump Died of Rabies.
How exactly DuckDuckGo’s search results came to this conclusion is a bit
convoluted, but a familiar enough concept at this juncture for anyone exposed to AI-powered
search. It’s one part AI doing a bad job of aggregating information from multiple sources
and hallucinating connections and, as Futurism notes, one part coordinated attack
by anti-AI activists. JD Vance’s rabies-related death has become a favorite bit of
Redditors on the subreddit r/poisonai,
which aims to generate misinformation that gets fed uncritically into AI models. Seems
they’ve succeeded at that goal.
