      You can't be serious it actually uses Reddit and Quora for answers?

      The google AI is going to turn into some deranged Nazi in a few weeks time.

        Not only is it trained on reddit-logo data, but they paid them 60 million for the right to taint their model with highly upvoted, and therefore weighted as helpful, useless joke answers to serious questions.

    Personally I prefer to go with geodes because you're never totally sure what you're gonna get till you start monchin and cronchin. However, I find that grinding rocks down into a fine powder allows them to mix nicely in with bread dough if you're tired of the same old pebbles.

    I thought about making the title: [Meta Not the Onion] How many rocks should I eat a day?

    "Google's AI is using the satiric site The Onion as a data source," sounds like a joke at the Onion.
