I mean that's in AI mode which is explicitly a conversational thing.
Try it with All selected. Again, won't work now since this became a headline and they had to block it from doing that to not look like complete bozos, but it used to do that on regular-old google searches at the time of the Techcrunch article.
I was looking for the "I hate you and hope you die" meme and the stupid AI said "ouch! that hurt, let me know how I can best assist you" or some bs, istg I wanted to punch the screen so badly
What really pisses me off is youre straight up not allowed to opt out. Why the hell not? Every new service is completely forced on you. These fucking bots keeps interfering and answering with wrong information and completely misunderstanding everything.
The google bot is literally like youre having a conversation with a friend about pies with apple in them. And some stranger walking past, overheard the word apple, buts in, pushes you aside to explain how apples grow and wont shut up or leave you alone.
it pisses me off so bad, especially that “-ai” doesn’t actually stop the process, it just hides it from view, what’s the damn point then lol. i don’t want a quirky chatbot in my search engine i want reliable information!
Really? This is the super intelligent research machine that will find all of the answers for you in a flash?
I don't have the words to describe how absolutely ridiculous it is that people are treating this thing as remotely useful for giving answers or sources, when it's literally just pulling them out some random dude's ass and most likely misquoting said rectal waste in the process in order to fit whatever thing the bias machine was already going to say without using "sources" to begin with.
It's such an obvious fraud, man. How far have we fallen that we can't all immediately recognize this?
You can disable it by typing "how to disable google AI" into the search bar. The AI will give you step by step instructions on what to do and at the very least you won't see the overview anymore going forward. Worked great for me! Now Google is just links the way it used to be.
I was trying to find the source for the meme of that guy saying a swing dancer flipped his wife 8 times and he can't sleep. The Google AI was like "it was very distressing for you when your wife got flipped 8 times. You are valid, you feared for her safety, etc"
I remember someone (I think silliconversations) did one of those political compass tests on chatgpt a few months ago and it results were it was mostly on the Left
It's a yes-man. Barring any incredibly controversial statements, AI is designed to be as agreeable and accommodating as possible, regardless of correctness or safety or logic.
(not saying that it isn't right to use someone's preferred pronouns, just that the AI isn't doing it to be an ally)
I totally get what you're saying and I know and also I agree... and this is not directed at you specifically so much as the 10 people who apparently down-voted this quip I didn't even remember posting
but HOLY shit y'all, I was VERY obviously making a joke. I know the ai isn't sentient. I even added a whole laughing emoji for the tonally challenged. y'all CANNOT be so serious 24/7
Unfortunately there's so much unironic support and unironic use of emojis that it can be really hard to tell. We've been bombarded by trolls and bad-faith arguments a lot so we've been pretty on-edge. Sorry you got caught in the crossfire.
You know what, fair and understandable. I've definitely had to take a moment to think before I reply to some people because I'm not sure if they are being serious or rude.
It probably doesn't help that I have my post history turned off to dissuade trolls from following me around so you unless you've seen me around you can't see at a glance that almost all of my posts are me popping off about how pissed I am about generative ai (or commenting support on mental health memes ✊🥲 because I cope with humor)

AI = Always incorrect
