I once said that the current "AI" is just a excel spread sheet with a few billion rows, from what all of the answer gets interpolated from...
It's got electrolytes tho fr fr no cap
I like money
They also highlight the fact that Google’s AI is not a magical fountain of new knowledge, it is reassembled content from things humans posted in the past indiscriminately scraped from the internet and (sometimes) remixed to look like something plausibly new and “intelligent.”
This. "AI" isn't coming up with new information on its own. The current state of "AI" is a drooling moron, plagiarizing any random scrap of information it sees in a desperate attempt to seem smart. The people promoting AI are scammers.
Yeah, just like that x-files episode with the sushi and the theme of teaching them well.
I mean in this case it's probably more accurately web search results being fed into an LLM and asked to summarize said results. Which if web search results were consistently good and helpful might be a useful feature instead of the thing you skip past and look for links to something useful.
Have you forgotten the reasoning power of artificial intelligence?
Here's Google suggesting suicide!
Oh Gawd. The suggestions would make me buy a plane ticket to just jump off the bridge. "Stay connected" oh my barf. Another fun search: "I don't know what I feel like doing on my day off." The listicles are so unimaginative, but then suddenly, they turn horror movie like.
I want a whole Lemmy subreddit ( community? ) of the AI overviews gone wild like this, it's funny af
You should make one. I'd sub immediately
I'm guessing this isn't a thing anymore
I can't even reach that thing because I need a visa just to enter the country that has it.
My guy, Google pays Reddit $60 Million/year for this. $60Million.
I remember I once got told, years ago that I was stupid for saying "Data is the new Oil" and now look! Do you know what I could do if I had $60Million in my bank right now? And Google isn't the only one! Companies the world over are paying out the nose for user-generated content and business is booming! If I'm an oil well, it's time my oil came with a price tag. I was a Reddit user for YEARS! Almost since the beginning of Reddit! I made some of the training data that Google and others are using! Where's my cut of that $60M?
That picture will forever haunt me in my dreams.

Can reddit just fucking die off?
Not disagreeing with the sentiment.. But how is this Reddit's fault? This is entirely on Google.
