Where this came from is commercials would add glue to the cheese to get the "cheese pull" effect for the camera.
I am not a bot. Probably.

I really hope we don't have to watch AI to go though all the various shitshow phases of reddit history, like the racist subs, fat people hate, jailbait, etc.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A screenshot of the summary it generated, shared on X, shows it responded with "cheese can slide off pizza for a number of reasons," and that the user could try adding "about ⅛ cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness."
Google started testing the AI Overviews feature in the US and the UK earlier this year and announced it would roll out more widely by the end of 2024.
In other cases, as Business Insider's Peter Kafka points out, one issue with generative AI engines is that they can just make things up.
Social media users have shared other examples of AI Overviews generating inaccurate responses, including when it said a "dog has played in the NHL."
They added that the "vast majority of AI Overviews provide high-quality information" and that it carried out "extensive testing" before it launched the feature.
Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
The original article contains 375 words, the summary contains 163 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I wonder how they got that wrong?

The NHL is set to celebrate the playoff season with a new tradition: the Stanley Pup.
The hockey league is partnering with the nonprofit Petco Love to air the one-hour special next month, when some very talented ice dogs will get a chance to rollick around the rink.
Each of the NHL’s 32 teams will have its own canine representative, but only the pups representing the 16 Stanley Cup Playoff contenders will get a chance to show off their skills.
Many of the hockey hounds hitting the ice will also be available for adoption from shelters or rescue groups in their respective cities.
