- blindstitch 1y agoA lot of the time it's a just a near-verbatim rephrasing of the top result, too.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 1y agoYou can help save the planet by asking AI less questions! Yeah I have 0 trust in the responses I am getting so instead of verifying random claims I'm taking my own turns
- bombcar 1y agoBut 95% of the time it doesn’t matter.
- physix 1y agoI read them to get an idea of the quality that the AI produces, but mostly ignore the content after reading and click on to find actual sources, since I don't yet trust that content. I was thinking that the drop in traffic to news sites is due to AI summaries, which might have the effect of filtering out people who are happy with a snippet. And was postulating that it would have two effects: improving the relevance of those who go to the news site (good) and feeding people with poor quality AI generated information (bad). But then I tested out various news- ish search terms and never got an AI summary from Google. So I think the primary cause for a drop in traffic to news sites is probably not the AI summary itself.
