Google AI Mode Hallucinates 'Internet Rule 86' to Say You Can Play Bad Apple on Your Toe
uuzif · reddit · 2026-10-12
A screenshot shared on Reddit shows Google Search's AI Mode confidently answering that, per 'Internet Rule 86' — 'If it exists, you can play Bad Apple on it. No exceptions' — you can technically play Bad Apple on your left toe. The cited rule is entirely hallucinated.
Amusingly, the AI also correctly relayed the meme culture around porting the Touhou music video to smart fridges and simulated fly brains, then earnestly offered instructions for making your toe 'the next medium.' A classic case of an AI treating a meme as an authoritative source.
