I remember when Google embedding unit conversions in search was a cute little convenience. And, uh, actually useful and accurate. This is just so embarrassing for a once-great tool.
A screenshot of Google search results, showing the question “7:40 pace per kilometer in pace per mile” and the embarrassingly inaccurate AI answer “a 7:40 pace per km is equivalent to a 7:40 pace per mile”.
