For a brief moment in the beta for all this, it basically just summarized the top two or three reputable results, and attached a link to where it got the data.
They should have just left it at that, and not started mixing in random blogs and social media sites.
The ability to summarize the Wikipedia article and a random university professors page where they list every fact known to man about pine trees or something was actually helpful.If I want the AIs best guess about how to fuck up a pizza, I just go to the site where I can ask it. Bad advice when searching is just shit.
A tldr for “what is turpentine” is actually helpful.This reminds me: I need to change my default search engine.
SearXNG: poor man’s Kagi (one seemingly reputable instance)
On iOS, I set my default search to DuckDuckGo, and enabled Hyperweb on the DDG domain to redirect to SearXNG. I use a Google Images bookmark saved as a favorite when I need images (SearXNG results inferior even when using Google as the sole engine).
I anecdotally suspect Kagi of astroturfing btw, but after some free trials it seems to be about the best Google alternative - gotta be [earning like] a [US-based] knowledge worker though, or really care about search.
I’ve been really liking Kagi. It’s been my default for about 5 months now.
To be fair, this could be very make or break for Google. If someone else solves AI search properly, and they can’t catch up, it would be really bad for them. G+/Facebook were another market completely so it wasn’t really taking any of their current market share.
But I do think they are panicking a bit too much.
I’m kinda surprised he isn’t bound by some sort of NDA.
AI told him he could ignore it.
So excited for AI written TOS that are just around the corner.
These are all general opinion statements. There aren’t any verifiable facts like, “on this date at a meeting with x we discussed how AI project y is myopic and non-user-centered.”
I am a software developer, this story isn’t really about that though. When I was first becoming interested in coding I was reading about vr and ar and how it would be this huge multi billion dollar market in the next few years and I thought that sounded awesome, as it could enhance our lived experiences with info for the curious, or decorate the real world with computer generated architecture, sculpture, even some ads to pay for the whole thing. I said I’m gonna get into computer programming and then transition into vr/ar once I learn a few things.
Of course this didn’t pan out. 2-3 huge tech companies rushed onto the market with somewhat crappy products just to own the patents so smaller companies couldn’t innovate. When they weren’t immediately profitable they started cutting back and shutting down. Just another big tech grift, like cryptocurrency and now AI. Ai is probably the worst example of all because it got pushed out to soak up a bunch of excess cloud computing when crypto crashed, and now its a huge real estate scheme as well since there’s a big rush to build data centers to handle the artificial demand. You wanna know the next big bubble to bet against? Its ai and all the related industries.
It requires massive amounts of computing power to accomplish the most mundane tasks, which require electricity created by burning fossil fuels. All so your boss can spend less time writing emails letting you know you’ve been laid off, and political advisors can mass produce legislation to take away your rights.

The way advanced capitalism can’t even grow a product before trying to strangle it for every last penny is all that saves us from special Black Mirror levels of hell.
Google AI search is certainly good for memes
vs Andi AI
It told me today that Harvard did research to show 165 degrees killed H1N1 in milk. The reference? Recommended cooking temp for chicken.
Trailer Trash be all like: “SEE AH TOLD Y’ALL IT WAS GOOD FOR THE BABY! GOOGLE DONE SAYS SO!!!”
Why do you hate the poor.
Why do you hate comedy?
Prob a reaction to punching down
Why do you hate… eh. Can’t be bothered. Need to take my clothes out of the washing machine.
That’s the spirit. All conflict in the world can be resolved by the crushing and inescapable weight of adult responsibilities.
That’s a good point, most major conflict is caused by people who make/pay/coerce people to do their adult responsibilities for them. 🤔
Chores…really do build character? Dad was right?! (Of course he was.)
The difference between G+ and now is that Google search is actually bad now and they need to do something to fix it, but they just did the completely wrong thing…
The difference is that Google+ was actually a wonderful product.
But a couple years down the line Google did what Google does and destroyed it from the inside making it worse and worse until it was just a shell of what it started out being.

If you were into tech, the tech people were amazing. Yonatan Zunger comes to mind. He was a backend engineer at Google and the guy was great.
I also met many people who are still friends, many of whom became real life friends too.
I even got an amazing job thanks to my contacts on g+.
The feed layout was awesome. The fact that everything got fed to rss. The fact that you could tailor posts so easily. God I miss it. Only social media I’ve ever really been a part of.
It was wonderful ♥️

Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that your experience isn’t valid, I am merely providing a counterpoint based upon my own experience.

Google did what Google does
I remember wrapping my head around “Google Wave” and being like “Hey that sounds nea–oh it’s gone already?”
Dude for real. Wave was awesome.
Google Plus was a good platform that was horribly managed.
Also, they made a huge mistake right at the beginning. It was invite-only…
Invite only, then when they didn’t have enough users, they tried to force it on everyone in conjunction with trying to force them to use their real names on YouTube. The whole thing was just an absolute master class in fucking up a launch from start to finish.
I mean if this is Google’s new Google+ moment there’s only one person we can call upon in our time of need:

Yeah that’s what happens when you throw your engineers out for business majors at a tech company
I’m going to start calling all these bullshit posts as they are.
They aren’t entertaining. Karma is not even a thing anymore on Lemmy. So why are you lying?
My understanding is that Google is doing a partial roll out of AI summary so most people don’t have it yet.
So that pulled out text essentially saying the exact opposite of what the OP screenshot says is not the same thing?
