The absurdity of the AI Overview getting confused by “are we getting” vs “is we getting” is hilarious. It just assumes you’re asking about a movie or package instead.

      AI assumes if you use nonstandard grammar you’re looking for a handout from the government. In particular, the use of “Is we…?” is racist because this kind of use of a singular verb form with a plural pronoun/noun has historically been part of fictional stereotypical portrayals of Black American speech patterns, which are of course a big part of what it “knows” about Black people. AI doesn’t care if it’s realistic or caricature, and doesn’t realize the dearth of accurate portraits, so it then makes racist assumptions about the rest of the question.

      We all know that the people getting the largest and most consistent handouts from the government are wealthy white people who use correct grammar. But they don’t ask AI, they speak directly to their personal politician.
