It appears Google's AI overview is really just RAG over the top search results (= search stuff on the web given the user query, let LLM answer query given the contents of search result)

Naturally, redditors have started poisoning search results. Google ranks Reddit very highly. This issue is basically not fixable unless Google largely ignores Reddit content except for known good content, or develops a model they can use to filter adversial content (which is basically impossible)

Glorius.

And if you think perplexity.ai is any better, think again. They are all doing the same shit:

  • Search top web results for query
  • Stuff results plus query into a prompt
  • Ask LLM to answer query based only on contents of search results.

Tada (Note: the answer looks superficially better until you get to the coconut section :)

@santiago hehe, I can already see Pinchai using that line of argument in his next interview.

I think nothing in the tech world has given me as much joy this year, as watching Google I/O, followed by the hilarious and expected shitty results of Google's "AI overview" in the real world.

I think we've reached peak LLM. Which means we can now focus on where they can actually be useful (they can be), without all the crypto-bro-like hype.

@cm there's money to be made by the providers, selling hopes and dreams of efficiency increases to their customers.

If those do not materialize, and it appears they largely don't, ain't nobody continue to buy from the hype machine.

This is different to crypto, where the value proposition was basically an asset class. In this case, the VP is money/time saved for the customer. Different beast. There is no equivalent to HODL hete :)
