    I spent most of today looking at places to rent in Denver and I come home to Google having killed it’s fucking search engine. What the hell is going on

      Google decided that the entirety of reddit is perfect for training data in their AI LLM. People’s shitposts from 10 years ago have now been given the spotlight at the top of google searches.

    Google has been bad for a long time, but they’ve shut the bed so hard lately. Seriously, look at this:

    I actually run out of screenshot space before I can get to an actual regular search result!

      Search done from Germany.

      The mobile search doesnt look much different. The order on mobile is as follows:

      • A snippet from glogs.wordlbank.org
      • People also ask
      • Forbes article (see screenshot above)
      • www.epa.gov article

      Both are Firefox Desktop (Win) and Mobile (Android) running Consent-O-Matic and ublock Origin

    We really need a whole community just for the very funny AI errors like this. I could spend all day reading about leaving a dog in a hot car, jumping off a bridge and eating at least one rock a day.

    I like to use the Void from r/place as a metaphor for the Internet’s gremlins. Google has called to the void, didn’t bother to filter it and isn’t happy with what it found. To me that signals that Google no longer understands internet culture.

      I get the same description, but when on desktop it’s in the ‘about’ section that appears on the right side of the results, so a different spot than in the OP’s image. Haven’t tried recreating any of the other flops yet though haha.

          No idea how fast they want to roll it out globally.
          But by the recent track record I’d wager they are doing it rather fast than slow.

        I’m in the US and opted into the beta for the AI stuff, but so far my experience has been generally positive.
