Did Google Fake Gemini AI's Output For Its Super Bowl Ad?

Google's Super Bowl ad about a Gouda cheese seller appears to be using fake AI output, writes the Verge:

The text portrayed as generated by AI has been available on the business's website since at least August 2020, as shown on this archived webpage. Google didn't launch Gemini until 2023, meaning Gemini couldn't have generated the website description as depicted in the ad.

The site Futurism calls the situation 'beyond bizarre,' asking why Google doesn't seem to trust its own technology.
Either Google faked the ad entirely, or prompted its AI to generate the web page's existing copy word-for-word, or the AI was prompted to come up with original copy and instead copied the old version. In the publishing industry, that's referred to as 'plagiarism.'

And ironically if Gemini did plagiarize that text, the text that it plagiarized is also inaccurate.
