They really are going all in on stupid.
Mashed potatoes can be your friends.
My favourite line from that song. 👍
There was a video for it that I loved when I was a kid.
Mark Mothersbaugh (of Devo): “I was in shock. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. He sort of re-sculpted that song into something else and… I hate him for it, basically.”
😆
I’m sorry, but I don’t see how anything can beat “Put down that chainsaw and listen to me”. It may be the best opening line ever sung.

AI powered stupid.
Artificial Stupidity
Best part…
The web filter is in that stupid filter carousel, and it’s just off of the screen on mobile. So you have to swipe left from the top of the screen to view web results.
Oh my God, they put it after flights.
For you. It’s dynamic and the links keep changing location now. That bar is terrible now.
Google is not showing the web anymore, it’s showing it’s own content now, stolen from the web.
People don’t even leave their site now with Ai results, that Google controls and can modify how they want.
Not sure what to do about this. The general public will be completely lost in Google.
“See, it gets more clicks!”
Yeah, because you’ve filled the top page with it, jackass.
As useful as the technology can be, I am getting tired of this AI crap.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The feature, renamed “AI Overview,” is here now, and it feels like the biggest change to Google Search ever.
When Google decides you have an AI-appropriate query, it now takes a lot of scrolling to see web results.
Page three is the bottom half of the video box, then a “Discussions and forums” section with Reddit and Quora posts.
Google claims “that the links included in AI Overviews get more clicks than if the page had appeared as a traditional web listing for that query,” but that’s honestly hard to believe.
When Google takes the content from one or several sites, rearranges it with AI, and displays it, in full, at the top of the results, why would any user click through?
Assuming AI overview works the same way, Google has not said how it expects something like this to be sustainable for web publishers.
The original article contains 562 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I’m guessing these are changes for chrome users? I haven’t seen any of those new AI changes. Granted I don’t use Google primarily, and was only testing a few times.
This article is easily falsifiable bullshit. Just ask google a question and you’ll get the same kind of search results as you always have.
same kind of search results as you always have.
Funny, I don’t remember getting top news stories, preview links for videos, or images when I did a Google search in the early 2000s…
No, but i do remember one of the options on the front page always being porn no matter what you searched. My middle school wanted us to use Yahoo search instead of google for pictures because it wouldn’t show Rule 34 content.
I think you mean SafeSearch > off.
Yes, you would pretty much be guaranteed to get a helping of porn no matter what.
Back in 2006 there wasn’t too much in the way of doing a safe search, at least not that any of our teachers knew about.
I’ve been running a kind of long experiment over the years. I search the same word every now and then. Watching the top results change has been fascinating. It’s gone from definitions to ads, and now it automatically tries to link into Google maps too. The original top results aren’t even visible without scrolling anymore.
Lol
No!
Google has been getting DUMBER AND DUMBER for years now !
