Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) has sparked controversy after advising a user to drink urine to pass kidney stones.
The AI-driven iteration of Google Search suggested drinking fluids like water, ginger ale, or fruit juice, recommending 2 quarts of urine daily. The post went viral, garnering over 1.6 million views and prompting humorous reactions.
Critics questioned the reliability of AI advice, with one user joking, "What if I like my kidney stone and want to keep it?" Google defended SGE, emphasizing its aim to provide helpful information quickly. The incident underscores the complexities of AI-driven recommendations and their impact on user trust.
