What happened
The committee returned to the pizzeria from 2010 and asked for pizza 'as the AI recommends'. The chef refused. The recipe went on the menu as a warning. The Grinzing Man, glued together since 1953, was consulted and had no comment. The Sachertorte people wrote in to confirm that no glue has ever been used in their product, which nobody had asked.
“Garbage in, garbage out.”
Elsewhere in 2024
Google's new AI Overviews suggest adding non-toxic glue to pizza sauce to keep the cheese on, citing an old Reddit joke.
