Wait until you see the AI generated blog posts being top results...

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 61 points 7 months ago

Hah!

No.

Soon enough the result will be an AI generated "blogpost", generated by the search engine, in response to your query.

I'm sure all this nonsense waste of energy is exactly what we needed just to stop climate change.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 months ago

That's already been happening for about a month now.. perhaps only for some users? Often the AI results are straight up lies.

I've seen some fucking hilariously wrong AI math.

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

Google is worse than useless to me now.

For certain languages and frameworks, LLMs are horrible right now because of this. Many answers I get are a Frankenstein of different versions.

There has been something similar for years: a page that basically says "Yeah, nah, we don't have any information for that, but you might be interested in a totally irrelevant something else", but phrased in a way that gets it high in the results. What's astonishing is that Google doesn't punish those pages.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Why would they punish pages that help them serve more ads? There are ads on the search, ads on the useless result, ads when you refine the query.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, you have a point, but then it's a bit hypocritical of them to even have criteria for putting pages up in the results.

I was looking up some tips for Baldurs Gate missions and these fking AI generated pieces of shit with hallucinated fake playthroughs ruined the whole experience.
