Welcome to the cycle of generative AI making search worse.

Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.

Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.

Great stuff! Two observations:
1. The disclaimer in the opening para is not needed
2. The article reminded me of a summary of a CoE conference I wrote which asked “ How can our society evolve, if tomorrow is governed by data from yesterday?

@why0hy @carnage4life The disclaimer was more a comment on the booster bandwagonning that was happening.

You’re the boss! And bandwagonning is a beautiful word!
