AI researcher Vincent Conitzer shared a funny AI Overview fail: when discussing whether RSI (recursive self-improvement) can lead to AGI, Google's AI Overview interpreted RSI as Repetitive Strain Injury, confidently explaining that the medical condition has nothing to do with AGI. Conitzer quips that at least AI Overview won't kick off an intelligence explosion, noting it failed to connect the dots for a long stretch of the conversation.
