I take comfort in knowing that their sales were already bad before all of this

Buddy, I never said the word definition

Impressive how we seem to agree with each other yet you still found a way to insult my way of putting it

In the case with Google AI overview, I 1000% agree. I am not against all AI tools, but that company has clearly chosen evil.

I like that trick, noted! I mostly use DuckDuckGo as a browser and search engine now. If it fails I use ChatGPT

I am not saying other generative AI lack flaws, but Google’s AI Overview is the most problematic generative AI implementation I have ever seen. It offends me that a company I used to trust continues to force this lie generator as a top result for the #1 search engine. And to what end? Just to have a misinformed populace over literally every subject!

OpenAI has issues as well, but ChatGPT is a much, much better search engine with far fewer hallucinations per answer. Releasing AI Overview while the competition is leagues ahead on the same front is asinine!

People shouldn’t compare things to gatekeeping unless they can build a cast iron gate

Isn’t this a tactic he’s done countless times over the last several decades?

He was honest with me, and he advocated for me. He would team up with me against upper management and hide his cards from them.
