I was looking for info about the upcoming event. I got a guess about what might happen in the future. Cannot describe how useless this search result was.

Just changed my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Can’t be worse than this.

    The AI summary shit is legitimately dangerous. My little brother was arguing with me about something and he googled it and just started reading what the AI summary said and about halfway in I stopped him and asked him to read it again but slower. He went back and realized the AI had just started pulling shit out of its ass.

    We were talking about blood transfusions and my brother had gotten O- and O+ mixed up. The AI incorrectly told him that O+ was compatible with all other blood types (already wrong) but then it randomly said that C++ was a new and upcoming synthetic blood that was better than real human blood.

    Yeah, the first time I used it I just did a test query, asking it to describe the last Super Bowl, and learned that Patrick Mahomes had won it by kicking a field goal.

    They call it ‘hallucinations’, but I call it a buggy mess.

    Hold up… are there actually people that expect it to be a reliable source of anything?

      Of course they do. AI is aggressively marketed as such. Most people simply don’t know that an LLM doesn’t have a concept of "truth“, and the misleading marketing is to blame for that.

      I mean to be fair that’s a niche event in a niche sports form in one backwards country that can’t even get their gov in order. 😛

      Jokes aside, it’s sad how far these agents/helpers have degraded. From the comparatively glorious Google Now that was black magic and would pull out tickets as you approached the starting point, recommend clothes and gear for weather at your destination and if you wandered around a few seconds told you where you parked your car, to nowadays being some AI slop that hallucinates shit constantly.
