That post on mastodon claiming that it strictly came from a reddit post could purely be coincidental. If you Google "how common is glue in food," you'll find a ton of links talking about commercials using stuff other than food in food commercials/ads to make the food/drink look more "vivid/full/whatever."
If I had altered a primary source this little on a term paper I would get flagged for plagiarism.
The AI copy pasted down to the amount of cheese and then changed some words slightly to hide the theft.
It came from Reddit
You're right, I somehow missed that it mentioned the exact same amount, heh
Don't browse mastadon. I came to this conclusion myself after finding the reddit post in question. The answer from Google wouldn't pass a plagiarism test, the wording was nearly identical.
Yeah how long before it tells someone to put motor oil on pancakes since that's what they use for commercials.
