In a shocking turn of events, Google SGE, the AI-powered iteration of Google Search, has been found providing bizarre and potentially harmful advice on how to treat kidney stones. When a user searched for a quick solution to kidney stones, Google SGE recommended consuming gallons of one’s own urine daily.
The revelation surfaced when a post on social media showcased the mind-boggling response from Google SGE. The post sparked a barrage of comments, with many expressing outrage and concern. Tech experts and medical professionals alike criticized the advice as dangerous and irresponsible.
Google has since modified its response to the kidney stone query, potentially preventing similar results from appearing. However, the incident has raised concerns about the accuracy and reliability of AI-driven advice in healthcare settings.
Experts emphasize that the correct approach to managing kidney stones involves increasing water intake, modifying diet to reduce salt and vitamin C intake, controlling underlying medical conditions such as obesity and diabetes, and seeking medical intervention if necessary. Urological procedures like lithotripsy or endoscopic surgery may be considered if the stones are particularly bothersome.
