[UPDATE: Added a screenshot]

From Reddit, here’s a test for Google…

Go to Google search, type:

“which us presidents earned degrees from UW Madison”

No quotes. That’s a really really wrong answer. Anyone else see this?

This just unvetted source material? That’d be a red flag for their AI, yeah?

@designatednerd I added a screenshot to my original post. Take a look. For sure that’s the source, and I can understand how someone could make that mistake, this is a bad result on Google part, and I’m guessing it also feeds into and educates their AI.

When you've spent several days noting incredibly privacy invasive new "AI" features being pushed by and that are so nightmarish that nobody wants to believe they're real, but they are. Sorry dear friends, you're already awake.

People, calm down!

I was triggered at first as well, but after giving it more thought, I agree with Redmond.

rightfully CANNOT blur or encrypt your passwords because doing so would require that Microsoft be a content moderator, returning your data to their Seattle mothership in order to do so.

That is a level of surveillance no one should be comfortable with.

Then again, you have given 20 years access to your email inbox, so...

Nothing to see here.

Mosey along.

Imagine what an anti-abortion red state or a fascist Trump administration (or some other future evil administration) would do with features like 's "recording everything you do on your PC" and the and Microsoft plans to listen in on your private phone calls.

I don't give a damn if these firms claim the data is stored on the devices. Devices can be confiscated, stolen, or courts can order pretty much anything done with that data.

These firms are selling us all down the river with this stuff.

@lauren Also, does anybody really believe that they're not going to extract whatever they deem valuable from data and use for more AI training?

"We're running out of high-quality language data" -> "It's a total coincidence, but from now on we're going to be listening in on every phone call and watching every desktop software interaction anybody ever makes ever again".

@datarama Of course.

well, Google is officially dead for search.

I mean, look at this horseshit.

why can't we just have Pagerank, you bastards.

UPDATE: there is a way to turn this off.. by adding &udm=14 in the URL, thank you 2 ppl who replied @peterbutler 🤩 @divinekanga 🤩

@dannotdaniel You can restrict Google results to “web links” and “verbatim” queries by appending the attributes udm=14 and tbs=l:1. (That will get rid of the “did you mean” results)

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14&tbs=li:1

(edit: fixed typo in “udm”)
