"the worst part is that when they [#LLMs] can’t complete a task confidently, they don’t give you an error or tell you they’re unable to finish. They make something up and serve you incorrect information.
…companies like #Google are pretending this isn’t a problem and pushing these systems toward taking over as our phones’ virtual assistants and the brains behind our online searches."
Anyone else's Google Assistant going crazy? On my OnePlus 12 and my Pixel tablet, this survey notification is replicating like crazy. Keep wiping them out, but they keep coming back.
Is Wayne Brady gonna have to Mute Assistant notifications???
Google is taking “swift action” to remove some of the bizarre AI-generated answers appearing at the top of its search pages. “A company once known for being at the cutting edge and shipping high-quality stuff is now known for low-quality output that’s getting meme’d,” one AI founder, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

From @gruber on Google adding AI GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) to their search results:
"They’ve turned Google Search — the crown jewel of the company, arguably the greatest consumer product ever made — into the butt of jokes."
If facts and hard data are required, folding in AI is like a truth diluting virus. Once the AI learns about adding glue to pizza, there's no simple way to exorcise that "fact".
Utiliser un tel #Android sans compte #Google c'est possible. A l'activation, au lieu de renseigner un compte, on choisit "ignorer". Conséquence, pas de Play Store, aucune importance : on installe F-Droid (magasin d'applis alternatif) et si on veut installer (ou mettre à jour) des applis qui viennent du Play Store on installe Aurora Store (la connexion au Play Store est alors anonyme) 😊 Pas de root nécessaire.

I believe #Microsoft knew that #recall would generate this kind of backlash. They just don't care, they're testing limits of what they can get away with ... After all #google and #facebook got away (mostly) with what they're doing. It's the slow boiling frog method ... and people are gullible enough to buy whatever BS big tech marketing is selling ...
My husband is presenting in an all-day #ADHD virtual conference with other experts in the field, including Dr. Edward Hallowell, for an #ADD/ADHD audience.
He put his slide deck on #Google Slides as required. Then technical glitches occurred (slides weren’t fully loading) during the test run. The IT person asked him if he was on a Mac (he is). According to the IT person, they have trouble with Mac users being able to run slideshows when there are multiple presenters.
When Bing, Microsoft’s search engine platform, went down early yesterday, it took down a number of services with it, including ChatGPT search, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo — all of which rely on the Bing API to operate.
With the majority of Google search alternatives taken out in one fell swoop, it highlighted the lack of competition that Google search truly has, and the implications that has on our online experience. Is there another way? @arstechnica has more.
Can someone with mad computer skillz tell me if this is legit, or if doing so will open a wormhole to a shady hacker underworld that immediately steals my identity?
(also, if any members of the shady hacker underworld are reading this and tempted to respond, I’ll only believe you if you say “scout’s honor”. Can’t fool me!)

☝️ Yes, the #Internet was not broken yesterday, only #Bing from #Microsoft and therefore these so-called alternatives, which apparently resist #Google. You should expand your naive belief and behaviour via #SearXNG, @Mojeek and/or #Stract search. You can find it by #search'ing for the corresponding hashtags in #Fediverse.
It seems that Google is failing again with the first attempts of integrating AI into search or are we just seeing the terrible mistakes and is 98% of the experience great ?
In marketing/PR terms , things are not going well i think. For OpenAI it's easier they don't have a userbase with billions of users (Gmail, Search, Drive etc.). #AI#Google
