When the Super Bowl airs on Sunday, February 9 at 6:30 p.m., one ad<\/a> from Google<\/a> will run with some last-minute alterations.<\/p>\n Last week, an X user<\/a> posted that one of Google’s new Super Bowl ads about a Wisconsin cheese market owner was “AI slop” and is “unequivocally false.” In the commercial<\/a>, the company’s Gemini AI tool writes a product description that says, “Gouda accounts for 50 to 60 percent of the world’s cheese consumption.” The post has screenshots of the alleged error.<\/p>\n Related:<\/b> A Company Is Giving Away $10,000 Every Second During the Final 2 Minutes of the Super Bowl<\/a><\/p>\n “Cheddar & mozzarella would like a word,” the post continues.<\/p>\n Google’s President of Cloud Applications, Jerry Dischler, replied to the post, saying that the copy is “not a hallucination” and the stat was found in multiple places across the web. Still, as anyone who is Very Online would know, that doesn’t mean the information is correct.<\/p>\n Hey Nate – not a hallucination, Gemini is grounded in the Web – and users can always check the results and references. In this case, multiple sites across the web include the 50-60% stat. Gouda news: many love this cheese! Bada news: not everyone thinks it’s as grate. ?<\/p>\n \u2014 Jerry Dischler (@jdischler) February 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Google confirmed that the company collaborated with the cheesemonger featured and remade the ad to remove the stat.<\/p>\n “Following his suggestion to have Gemini rewrite the product description without the stat, we updated the user interface to reflect what the business would do,” Google told the BBC<\/a>, in a statement.<\/p>\n The BBC notes that, for some reason, accurate data on cheese popularity is tough to source, though cheddar<\/a> and mozzarella<\/a> are considered to be the most popular in the world.<\/p>\n Here’s the new ad, set to run on Sunday, while the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n\n
