You mean the Ai that unwillingly pops up on my Google searches?

Assuming that's the one, it has given me many wrong answers lately and a sarcastic response calling it out makes it spit out a correct answer. Pushing it for an explanation on every instance, it says that it ends up not relying on the query of the user to generate the answer. (?) I've noticed that adding the line "check your answer before answering" gets it to replace English words got Chinese characters.. Funky stuff these flagship products.

  Not my experience, I've found it extremely useful for when I need a quick answer. It's handled very specific fairly obscure questions well. I also find it quite consistent.

    It hallucinates about 50% of the time. [0]. It is completely useless and worse than quantized gpt-oss from over a year ago. It is designed for large scale, instant responses. I hate when co-wokers or friends say "when I searched it up" and proceed to spew out whatever the Google AI said. I would consider listen if they ran it through ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude but whatever model is used on the search results is just bullshit.

      > It is designed for large scale, instant responses. Who wins when someone has to make 3 or 4 prompts to get an answer as opposed to just the initial prompt? Seems likr studies like this need to be made at regular intervals to keep tabs on model functional, especially public facing ones..

  Why are you "assuming" when reading the fscking article would tell you you're wrong? How about you actually read the topic in question before putting a bitch in?

    I'm replying to the initial reply, let me paste it in for clarity: > You mean the Ai that unwillingly pops up on my Google searches? Assuming this is correct... Lets check: from TFA: Gemini is also core to Google’s flagship search experience, with AI Mode and AI Overviews becoming increasingly hard to avoid. Oh, correct. Assuming you have issues in your life, please keep the attitude away from your comments, it's unnecessary. For what it's worth and what the article is about, I personally couldn't care less about an over-glorified penile measuring contest for the fastest growing userbase growth of a product that spits out inaccurate randomness as a service touted as the next best thing since sliced bread.

  Yeah, for a lot of my Google searches I don’t go past the AI generated summary part anymore. That being said, I do a lot fewer searches now I just ask ChatGPT the vast majority of my queries. I sure as hell haven’t hit page 2 on Google search in a long time.

AI Overviews are not accounted for in that number.
