Prompt an Google-Suche: 'AEG BSS575021M schaltet sich von selbst "ein"'

#AIoverview sagt: "Wenn Ihr #AEG BSS575021M #Backofen sich von selbst einschaltet, könnte die Kindersicherung aktiviert sein. Dies kann durch versehentliches Betätigen der Tasten oder eine fehlerhafte Sensorsteuerung verursacht werden. Auch ein technischer Defekt, wie z.B. ein Fehler in der Stromversorgung, kann die Ursache sein."

Is posting wrong AI answers still a thing, or do we all just accept they're making stuff up? #ai #googlesearch #aioverview

I mean, just note that the first and last sentence are clearly contradicting each other.

Google search for "Julian day number 1" returning "The first Julian Day number, JD 1, corresponds to October 15, 1582, the day the Gregorian calendar went into effect. It's an integer representing a full day, with the day beginning at 12:00 UT (Universal Time). The Julian Day system is a continuous counting of days starting from January 1, 4713 BC."

Even before ChatGPT was launched, I mentioned the points that help SEO content feature in AI Overview, AI Mode and chatbots. @ x.com/HeySannidhi/status/15548

Brand all the way! which is preferred in such systems. Everything depends on it, even the authority of a website.

Pour info : tous les liens qui apparaissent dans le bloc AI Overview de la SERP Google sont comptabilisés comme étant en position #1 dans les résultats.

Sachant qu'en plus il y a zéro indication dans la Search Console, à part faire des captures de SERP, ça va être coton niveau précision.

These Google #AIOverview summaries are worse than useless.

Some of these are misleading, and the references don't back them up at all. It's disheartening knowing extra energy is being used to generate this garbage information. It all looks somewhat believable , but if you dig a little deeper... 🫠

I don't like thinking about how many people probably rely on just these AI summaries. They often seem to simply reinforce any biases inherent in the query while spewing just enough appropriate verbiage to lend a thin veneer of legitimacy.

Oh shit, the "Google AI Overview" crap has arrived on some of the Japan servers. After learning that 菌床栽培 (plank-cultured) shiitake are the counterpart to 原木栽培 (log-cultured) shiitake that Mieko preferred, I do a quick search for 菌床 to learn more, and an "AI Overview" fills the screen with some irrelevant babbling about bacteria on the floor?

Let me go, I'll be good, I promise! 😿

The Japanese text of a Google AI Overview reading (in English translation), "It is a fact that there are various kinds of bacteria on the floor, but their type and number vary from place to place."

Okay, am I the only one seeing the new “AI Overview” feature of Google?

Google AI Overview a généré un certain succès auprès d'Alphabet (💰 ), donc c'est sûr qu'on va s'en manger durant les prochaines années (pour le meilleur et pour le pire)

"It all sounds perfectly plausible, delivered with unwavering confidence. Google even provides reference links in some cases, giving the response an added sheen of authority. It’s also wrong, at least in the sense that the overview creates the impression that these are common phrases and not a bunch of random words thrown together. And while it’s silly that AI Overviews thinks “never throw a poodle at a pig” is a proverb with a biblical derivation, it’s also a tidy encapsulation of where generative AI still falls short.

As a disclaimer at the bottom of every AI Overview notes, Google uses “experimental” generative AI to power its results. Generative AI is a powerful tool with all kinds of legitimate practical applications. But two of its defining characteristics come into play when it explains these invented phrases. First is that it’s ultimately a probability machine; while it may seem like a large-language-model-based system has thoughts or even feelings, at a base level it’s simply placing one most-likely word after another, laying the track as the train chugs forward. That makes it very good at coming up with an explanation of what these phrases would mean if they meant anything, which again, they don’t."

Other made-up idioms AI Overview confidently explained were, e.g., "Never spread your Wolverine on a Sunday", "The brightest lamp smells like cheese", and "Seven fire ants for thee, only one for me".

Yes, it's funny. But it also confirms you can't trust what AI tells you. It wasn't developed to tell the truth.

Check, check, and check again.
