00:01I mean, you have to feel bad when a group of students trying to do something right totally screw up.
00:09Their hearts were in the right place.
00:11But last week, a group of high school students were mistakenly served a dessert consisting of baked dirt.
00:18Oh, no.
00:20At a charity event.
00:21It's called the Empty Bowl Supper.
00:23And it's a community event at a high school in Maine that is designed to raise money and support for
00:29those who are going hungry in the area.
00:31The dirt in question was part of a science experiment at the school in which it was baked so it
00:39could be sterilized and then tested for plant growth later.
00:45Someone baked the dirt and then put it away from the food that was being served at the dinner, yet
00:52it still got mistaken for a dessert.
00:56And somebody took it out and put it out there.
01:00Cut it up and got it ready.
01:01And three students dug in and came away with mouthfuls of dirt.
01:07The school has since apologized.
01:09They've spoken to the parents of the students involved.
01:12It seems that everybody is going to be okay.
01:14Now, if you wanted to see whether or not you can safely eat baked dirt, you might Google that, right?
01:21Right.
01:21Of course.
01:22Well, Google's making their biggest change in over 25 years.
01:25Huh?
01:25At yesterday's Google I.O. conference, the company explained that your search results are now going to more closely resemble
01:33AI chats instead of a laundry list of websites.
01:38It's an intelligent search box that will also allow you to ask follow-up questions and narrow the responses.
01:44Interesting.
01:45Okay.
01:45Big changes come into the Googs, but they think it's for your benefit.
01:50Yeah.
01:50I mean, it definitely will probably help streamline answers, but I feel bad for anybody running blogs or websites trying
01:57to get traffic to their, you know, their site.
02:00Exactly.
02:00Yes, and I know what some people might be thinking.
02:03Yeah.
02:03Oh, they'll cite their sources and whatever it might be, but that's still not giving that traffic if they're giving
02:10you the answers in all the AI chats.
02:12By the way, Jeff, while you were talking, I did, in fact, Google, can I safely eat baked dirt?
02:19And?
02:19No, according to the AI overview from Google, it is generally not safe to eat baked dirt.
02:25While baking or heating dirt may kill some bacteria or parasites, it does not remove other serious health risks like
02:33heavy metal contamination or nutrient absorption issues.
02:37You know what's funny?
02:38I see that all the time, that word generally within any sort of AI, right?
02:43It's generally, and then they go in and be like, no, it's absolutely not okay.
02:47But they're, like, they're trying to softball it to you.
02:50Like, it's generally frowned upon massively and could kill you.
02:53But it's like.
02:54Right.
02:55Could just say no.
02:56It won't necessarily, it won't absolutely kill you.
02:58But generally.
02:59It's not good for you.
03:00It could kill you.
03:01Yeah.
