Why is this happening?

Because the trailer begins with the sound of Peggy March’s 1963 song “I will follow him”, and the AI lacks the context to separate the soundtrack from the rest of the content.

Surely @a24movies.bsky.social isn’t happy with Google mis-describing their film trailers?

YouTube trailers with the description “A woman expresses her devotion to a man”

Instagram description of the Pillion trailer as “a young woman’s journey on the road with her biker boyfriend”

A film about two men’s BDSM romance described as “a young woman’s journey on the road with her biker boyfriend”

Oh good, thank you @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social for writing on the weird AI generated descriptions of posts now happening in Google search.

This has been driving me nuts specifically with the gay dom-com Pillion, whose trailers are getting described as “a woman expressed her devotion to a man” 🤦🏻‍♀️

@indyfromspace.bsky.social curious your thoughts on this as an Egyptologist

I spend a lot of time scrolling the shopgoodwill auctions site for no other reason than it’s my Coping With 2025 No News Before Bed Mindless Site

Okay archaeologists / egyptologists, I’m curious - is this a legally sellable item by Goodwill?

Buyers seem to be betting on it being genuine. And the AI description boldly says “The artifact appears crafted in a historical period and exhibits cultural significance”

This is one of my favorite traditions that we do on Electron; it’s a great time to both recharge and get caught up on internal maintenance and projects that we might not normally have the time to look into

Coming together to eat the food we share has been part of humanity from the very beginning. I wrote this post after a Thanksgiving week lecture on evidence for Neanderthals and other ancient people making prepared mixtures of grains, lentils, and other foods.

AI art sneaks in when your heart is closed to folk art, to children’s art, to your own art. I know what it feels like to say “I couldn’t draw this, so it’s okay to have a computer do it” - but what part of yourself are you choosing to abandon because it’s not “good” enough?
