I don't like this.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

londos ,

But it's not an isolated R&D project. They're rolling it out in general search. If I have a promising new braking technology, but which still only works well 48% of the time, I'd keep working on it but not put it in production vehicles.

londos ,

I swear I'm not just trying to start an argument, but I don't see the disagreement here. You're saying people here are too negative, but people aren't shitting on the idea of LLMs, but the over promising of what they can do. You're tired of explaining that it's not true AI, but the confusion of caused by Google calling it "AI Overviews."

You say it's nothing new and that we've always had to vet sources when Google sends us somewhere, which is true, but the Overviews aren't sending people anywhere, they're summarizing and trying to give you an answer. They do link to sources for now, but the end goal is clearly that we trust the summary without following the links.

People who are listening to and parsing his comments are not the same people who will be blindly consuming these "AI Overviews." It's a problem.

I was just listening to a YouTube playlist of mine that goes back at least 10 years and was disappointed how much of it was deleted. And not only that, but in many cases I couldn't even tell what the videos were.

Literally just today, I picked one music video that just seemed to be gone from youtube and the internet, but thankfully was able to find a Wayback machine link to the artists website in 2008 with a .mov download link.

Or how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

Would also love to have just an ETA without directions. I usually don't need them commuting or going about town, but I keep them up anyway to keep track of time. Would love just an ETA widget.

londos ,

Yeah, that's how I usually do it, just leaving it muted. I'd expect to continue to enter a destination. The ETA would update if I take a wrong turn, choose another route or get caught in traffic. Basically it should work exactly as it currently does, I just don't want to have the map on the screen sometimes.

Don't know, but he definitely has a Samsung phone. After all, he is the OneUI.

They weren't just tracking what you bought. They wanted to track what you looked at and for how long, to learn what packaging worked best.

Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads (www.lowpass.cc)

Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing.  ...

Once more games are pixel streamed, that's probably possible

Wasn't this the plot of The Dilemma, with Kevin James?

I was curious about the "Philly cream cheese" campaign example they mentioned. I assume it's this post.

The top reply is trolling them, which is awesome. So much for increased engagement.

But even funnier is the next top reply, which seems sincere. But when you look at the user profile, almost all of u/sunshinedogger's comments in the last year are on sponsored posts. So even the positive engagement is manufactured?

londos ,

I'm also curious if the fake users are part of the campaign or if reddit is scamming the advertisers too.

londos ,

Didn't they use to have this years ago? And then removed it?

londos ,

Honestly, parsing through version history is actually something an LLM could handle. It might even make more sense of it than without. For example, if someone replies to a comment and then the parent is edited to say something different. No one will have to waste their time filtering anything.

Got ems!

People will try taking it.

What if they access FB from a browser?

Hyundai is the same, even on current models.

I will admit there was a time when he was pushing electric cars while traditional auto manufacturers seemed to be dragging their feet. It felt like he was on the right side of a big issue and shaking things up. I think it's important to admit when we get it wrong. And boy did I get it wrong.
