Google’s AI will often pretend to have heard of a phrase even if it hasn’t. Usually it can infer pretty well but sometimes it will just be flat out wrong. In this case it nailed it.

Got any recommendations for pork meatball recipes? I have a grinder that I’ve been itching to bust out over winter.

I smoked a lot of cheese last winter and I’m trying to eat up some of my stock so I can free up room to smoke more this winter.

Or when you hear people saying ai hallucinates, this is what they are talking about…

All its doing is trying to come up with the best answer it can… corporate meatballs isn’t a thing… it’s just what they called meatballs they got in a store instead of buying meat and making them

I like money

Except I use the term and meant exactly what it said. So it is a thing?

Other than the ai thing I didn’t really see anything about other people using it… its clearly understandable though. It’s just most people would probably say processed or precooked…

I don’t know if anyone else is actually using it. It might be a full-on hallucination. But when? I chose those words the summary the AI gave is completely accurate to what I meant. This might be a case of right for the wrong reason.

What are “corporate meatballs”?

This is covered extensively in another comment on this post.

As far as I know Gemini’s knowledge base for each response is the first few responses, so that is its entire worldview aha. A few separate mentions of the term could amount to ‘common usage’ for the AI, plus the bias that of course, as I searched for it and the results are sorted based on relevance and SEO factors, the AI’s sources are heavily biased toward it’s existence, leading to a misrepresentation of commonality…

It would cost you nothing to include a link to said comment

i mean you can just make normal meatballs, the meat barely matters and i’m pretty sure it’ll even work fine with soy mince.

For a specific recipe i know works, here’s bog standard swedish meatballs, you probably want to make a half size batch:

• 1kg ground meat
• 3dl milk
• 150ml breadcrumbs
• 1 onion, grated or finely diced
• 2 eggs
• 10ml salt
• 2ml black pepper
• 5ml sugar

mix together the milk and breadcrumbs in a big bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes, then add the rest and mix it all together really well. Then form into balls and fry, or if you want to be fancy you can form the balls, boil them, THEN fry. That shit is poppin.

Corporate is trying to cut costs, and unnecessary links add to expenses

There aren’t 500 comments to scroll through. I cooked the food, I had the conversation, it was covered in depth right here in this post. I am under no obligation by any stretch of netiquette to link to a thread within the same post. This isn’t the days of Usenet where post IDs were handy because a post might not propagate to all the servers. You have all the context you need to find the replies without me going through the even minimal labor of finding the link and handing it to you. Let’s not encourage entitlement behavior here.

Fuck you, I’m eating

Ok. Bye. Downvoted.

You could have easily just omitted the word corporate from your post

Or replaced it with “store-bought” or “pre-made” or “basic” or whatever

But you chose to include a deliberately obscure term and then wait until the comments to define it?

The simplest explanation is you are hunting for downvotes because you get satisfaction from annoying people
