The concern here is that old search engines can give you links and you can go into them to verify the content. AI taking over our search engines hides the sources of information, forcing us to blindly trust the AI and wherever it got its information from.

#AI

@ned but there's a tiny "AI summaries can be incorrect" disclaimer in light grey text in a locked cabinet in the basement with a sign saying "beware of the leopard", so it's definitely the user's fault if they get scammed.

Whereas it should be a large bold message saying "LLM-Generated Responses Are Not Search Results", above and below the summary, or tattooed on the back of the user's hand as needed.

@petealexharris the tattoo should be on the hands, forehead, and inside of the eyelids of every product manager even vaguely associated with any search product in existence.

That seems cruel. Maybe just a sign in all the meeting rooms that the engineers can tap sternly and repeatedly.

@petealexharris Nope. Tattooed the old fashioned way, with a pointy stick and a big rock. @womble @ned @hacks4pancakes
@petealexharris desperate times call for desperate measures.
@petealexharris @womble @ned @hacks4pancakes copying that quote and distributing it everywhere if you don’t mind 😇
