Google and to some extent Micro$oft (and Amazon) have all sunk hundreds of billions of dollars into this bullshit technidiocy because they want AI to go out and suck up all the data on the Internet and then come back to (google or wherever) and present it as if it’s “common knowledge”.
Thereby rendering all authoritative (read; human, expensive) sources unnecessary.
Search and making human workers redundant has always been the goal of AI.
AI does not understand what any words mean. AI does not understand what the word “word” means. It was never going to work. It’s been an insanity money pit from day one. This simple fact is only now beginning to leak out because they can’t hide it anymore.
It’s actively destroying their search ability as well.
My 15 year old son got a lesson in not trusting Google search yesterday. He wanted pizza for dinner so I had him call a chain and order it. So he hit the call button on the AI bullshit section and ordered it.
When we got there we found out that every phone number listed on the summary was scrambled. He ordered a pizza at a place 150 miles away.
When you clicked into the webpage or maps the numbers were right. On the AI summary, it was all screwed up.
