Were you not googling before? They had a bullet point summary that was actually more accurate because it scraped direct quotes from the website. Now I am getting wrong info from the ai summary. Its a huge step back from just what was there previously but its sold as some advancement.
- crazygringo 2y agoIt definitely didn't seem more accurate to me. If quite frequently either scraped quotes that weren't actually an answer to my search (the webpage was correct, but the link between my search and the webpage was not), or it was an answer but the answer was wrong (because the webpage was wrong). The AI summary now isn't perfect because it can still regurgitate wrong information from the Internet, or hallucinate information when there isn't any -- but it seems to actually understand what I want now, so it doesn't suffer from the incorrect matching problem. Also, there are way more AI answers now than there ever were snippet answers.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoAgreed. My friend and I used to paste pre-AI Google search snippets to each other when they were so bad, especially when it quoted a comment on Reddit.
