There was an absolutely MASSIVE spider in my apartment: Google search AI unhelpfully listed all the most venomous spiders in California. My university's entomology department website has a simple listing of local spiders w/ pictures & assuring me this one wasn't dangerous.

I did google image searches of a few plants in my yard. AI responses: copperheads.

Awful thought: what is this doing for people who search medical information?

The spider is, however, dead. And my dignity is not entirely intact.
