Long story short, don't trust AI with your dog.

@tomw when i enter this search in Google, i get a very different result. Is this some kind of new meme that i don't get?

@walsonde @tomw it's the new "AI Overview" feature Google is introducing -- a few countries at a time I believe, and maybe varies across devices too. (I'm not seeing it on Android phone in Canada.)

@maphew @walsonde @tomw also Google is putting out spot fires left right and centre.

Apparently Google's genius level solution for their super-advanced AI is to manually remove problematic answers.

Google. Making sure the future sucks, and sucks bad.

@maphew @walsonde @tomw It isn’t currently available in Canada. Shame, I kinda want to use it for ‘unconventional, avante-garde entertainment’.

@maphew @walsonde @tomw It's possible that the AI generates new responses to each query, so the idiocy may not be highly reproducible....

@PaulWermer @walsonde @tomw I meant I don't see AI Overview at all in google searches, let alone ones like I've been seeing posted

@walsonde @tomw does your result say “AI Overview”? I still get “featured snippets” on my phone which are actually accurate, but I believe Google plans to phase that out. It’s sort of a meme but the bad AI data is really there, just not active on all browser / device versions yet.
