Apparently, Google's new AI-based search is quite honest. - sh.itjust.works

For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based “Generative AI” search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience. I asked it today why Google no longer follows their “don’t be evil” motto… The results are pretty hilarious.

How do you use it? I’d like to try it out as well. “Mom said it’s my turn on the world altering maybe not evil artificial intelligence”

 this looks like it’s actually from their normal search with the labs feature turned on for ai. Bard is separate but uses the same tech.

I think you’re on a different page, this looks similar to, but more polished than what the internal version was.

I’m on desktop, I got the full bard console which looks like chatgpt in a lighter theme.

Correct! This is “generative AI” search, not Bard. This said, I would imagine it’s heavily based on Bard.

Thanks. I just tried it - I'll fact check the token later. (I gave the same prompt o ChatGBT and it gave me incorrect information, and when confrontedwith my next prompt, admitted that it was incorrect.) What was neat about Bard is that I exported the result to Google Docs and it's here in my Google Drive. So if you like Google's ecosystem, you might like this.

I was able to immediately check it out on my Android phone by simply going to the Google App, and joining the beta program.

My companies SEO expert made me aware of this program a week or two back, and he has it running on his browser, but I believe that requires some sort of a waiting list (or, it did last I checked).

Despite what the other guy said, this is not Bard. This is available in Google’s new search labs (just search it up) if you’re using chrome and in the U.S. I got it working in Safari in Australia using a VPN and changing the user agent when on the correct site though.
