Google made a lot of noise about its Gemini AI taking over search<\/a> at its I\/O conference today<\/a>, but one of its flashiest demos was once again marked by the ever-present fatal flaw of every large language model to date: confidently making up the wrong answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n During a sizzle reel for \u201cSearch in the Gemini era,\u201d Google demoed video search, which allows you to search by speaking over a video clip. The example is a video of a stuck film advance lever on a film camera with the query \u201cwhy is the lever not moving all the way,\u201d which Gemini recognizes and provides some suggestions to fix. Very impressive! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The only problem is that the answers it comes up with are, on the whole, hilariously bad, and Google literally highlighted<\/em> the suggestion to \u201copen the back door and gently remove the film,\u201d which is perhaps the worst thing you can do in this situation. (If you\u2019re not familiar with how film cameras work, opening the door in this way in anything but a totally dark room would expose your film to light, ruining any photos you\u2019ve taken.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
