did they just make an article about Google using AI for searching?
in other news, have y'all seen this new meme?
nocturne"A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers."
Exactly my experience. I don't understand people who go to chatgpt first.
IsoKieroExcept that traditional Google search is often filled with AI-generated sites without any value. I use DDG and if that fails it's simple to use their 'bangs' to try other engines.
Yup, LLMs are a backup if traditional search fails. A well researched blog post is way better than whatever the LLM cobbles together, though the LLM is often better than nothing.
fyzzlefryI hate google so I dont use its ai or search

BrikoXYour assumption that I use Google products was your first mistake...
irotsomaI bet the show summaries are going to be a big target for media companies. I remember when they went on rampages in the 90s and 00s against fan sites that had synopses of episodes and this is way more than a simple paragraph or two synopsis of the shows.

I'd sure love to see those pop culture summaries. Wondering how the author can determine how accurate they are without having seen (understood) the thing being summarised.
