Google’s inappropriate use of AI at the top of their search results is forcing bad information on everyone, because they don't want to appear to be behind the tech curve. "Gemini" often gives false, and even occasionally harmful ("gasoline can be used to make a spicy spaghetti sauce") advice. Insane.
...All of these companies are covering themselves legally. Look closely, and you’ll see a fine-print disclaimer beneath every AI system telling you that the system makes mistakes and that the onus is on you to double-check everything it tells you to confirm it’s correct.
Erm, right. So you can rely on these systems for information — but then you need to go search somewhere else and see if they’re making something up? In that case, wouldn’t it be faster and more effective to, I don’t know, simply look it up yourself in the first place? Maybe using the types of tools we had before these groundbreaking innovations came our way?
