The best thing Google has done in the last decade easily.
Google has continally abused trust on ethics and on accuracy.
Yes, it would be nice if there was a button you could push to ask any question and get a simple answer. No, we are not there yet. No, there are no shortcuts in life. You have to go to a source and evaluate its information and its trustworthiness in its own context otherwise you are not meeting your responsibility of diligence.
That's a good laugh...
Yesterday I looked up how much a certain car weighs. The AI summary gave me an answer. It may be the wrong one, but I looked it up out of curiosity, so it doesn’t ultimately matter.
Now this has to be the most surprising thing I've read this week, until I thought about it for long.
It doesn't matter if it's correct because you googled it out of curiosity? I think you might be confused. When you're curious, you want the answer to be correct (there's related questions that are raised and consistency checks that a curious person does in their mind.) I think what you are is addicted to the internet. You searched something because that's you brain's kneejerk reaction to whatever the trigger was in this case. The act of searching is what your brain was looking for, not the actual information.
Google and other AI companies effectively killed the incentive to share text on the internet. With it dies an important chunk of the independent web.
