Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

Google is beginning to replace news headlines in its search results with ones that are AI-generated. After AI clickbait nonsense in its Google Discover news feed, it’s starting to mess with headlines in the “10 blue links” too.

@munin the web is becoming fake and untrustworthy, it is being replaced by AI and apps. The web is basically dead.
@ronnylam @munin it's not like Google is the only search engine out there.
@munin
"Changing headlines, and their meaning, makes journalism less trustworthy at a time when powerful institutions are trying to discredit it [...]"
Yeah! Wait, isn't Google a powerful institution? 🙃
@munin They slowly cooked us, nobody will complain about this because they slowly ruined it already.

@MisterMaker

so I'm nobody then?

@munin no sorry 🫣 I mean the masses.
@munin My guess would be they are trying to get around copyright infringement judgements.

@ChuckMcManis

I truly do not give one tenth of a fuck as to their rationale.

I have zero sympathy for these bastards for ruining the fucking ability to find any kind of accurate information.

@munin I share your lack of fucks to give. 😃
@munin I will switch away fully this year and will use YT for subbed artists
@AnGie @munin Bei einer Konferenz heute an der Uni Köln wurde ein Übersetzungsprogramm verwendet, das die Aussprache "drill baby, drill" als "Google" verschriftet hat. Fragen bitte an @Attac
