| | | GOOGLE | | | Google has pulled its Gemma AI model from its AI Studio platform after a US senator said the tool generated serious, and false, claims about her. | Google said Gemma was designed for developers, not the general public, and wasn't meant to answer factual questions. | Because some people were using it in that way, the company removed access from AI Studio, though developers can still use Gemma through the API. | The complaint centres on Senator Marsha Blackburn, who said Gemma responded to a prompt by inventing allegations about her and even listed fake news links. | None of the details were accurate. | In brief: | Google removed Gemma from AI Studio after it generated false claims about a US senator. The model was intended for developers only, not public factual queries. The incident highlights ongoing accuracy issues ("hallucinations") in AI systems.
| Gemma wasn't a Q&A girlie | The situation highlights an ongoing issue in generative AI: models can still produce incorrect information presented as fact. | Google said it remains focused on reducing these errors. | Blackburn has called for the model to be shut down until it can be better controlled. | Google really said "you're holding it wrong" - MV | What's the bigger issue here? | | Vote for live results + see results and opinions from yesterday at the bottom of the email. |

| | Can We Live to 140? AI Say… Perhaps | Someone recently asked AI if people could push human life all the way to 140. The answer wasn't "no"… but it wasn't quite "yes" either. Instead, the model pointed to a silent lifespan-killer most of us overlook: chronic stress. | According to the AI, constant stress keeps your body stuck in survival mode, quietly wearing down your heart, gut, immune system, and everything in between. You won't see "stress" listed on a death certificate, but long-term cortisol spikes have been linked to heart disease and other conditions that shorten our runway. | So, are we on track to hit 140 anytime soon? Not right now. But if you're chasing a longer life, AI says the real cheat code might be something simple: | move often, eat real food, stay connected… and chill. | Longevity isn't just biology, it's vibes. | (Okay, science-backed vibes.) |
