Google appears to have faked AI output in a commercial set to run during the Super Bowl. The ad shows a business owner using Gemini to write a website description, but the text portrayed as generated by AI has been available on the business’s website since at least August 2020, as shown on this archived webpage.

Google’s Super Bowl ad features a Wisconsin cheesemaker who uses Google’s Gemini AI tool to write cheese descriptions.

Its Gemini tool wildly overestimated global gouda consumption in ad that was meant to show off its capabilities.
