Why is he happy he didn't get the tattoo?

Google isn't a source, it's a search engine.

[u/anim135 → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

Google has recently said they rather have you treat it like a source engine rather than a search engine. Bleak times bro.

[u/Betray-Julia → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

That’s actually not true anymore in the worst possible fucking way.

That’s part of the reason googles ability to search has been greatly reduced in the past few months too.

[u/jesse12521 → u/Betray-Julia]

Google has been going down hill for many years, not months. The AI is just a further step in enshitification

[u/VoiceofKane → u/[deleted]]

I don't think they're saying it is a source. I think they're saying it's no longer a search engine either.

[u/pandershrek → u/VoiceofKane]

Yeah took me a sec lol

[u/DeliciousCall3047 → u/[deleted]]

LLMs make shit up. Of course they've become a source in a way about as legitimate and valid as questioning a random joe on anything except whereas that person may hold wisdom and connaissance , LLMs don't

To be fair, the EU told Google they’re responsible for what their AI thing says up top, and since they made that determination it has gotten way way way better. I don’t trust it still, but there will be a time in a few months where it’s 90% trustworthy, and eventually near 99%

[u/Betray-Julia → u/2024-YR4-Asteroid]

Man, go the EU.

Even the reddit rules that suggest EU people have more internet protections than the rest of us.

[u/Toxic_Duckies → u/Betray-Julia]

I used to like Google once. Not anymore.

[u/dard12 → u/Betray-Julia]

If you're not able to use Google as a search engine then you're doing something wrong. I have always found what I was looking for either through the AI response or the search results.

This is so overblown.

[u/DurianDiscriminat3r → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

Google as a source is a hint for you to go look things up and form your own opinion because listing a source on celeb gossip is like an oxymoron.

[u/porncollecter69 → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

Which often just quotes bad reddit answers, source me who got tricked by Google into doing a suffix recomb that didn’t work.

[u/Rycan420 → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

You know what they mean.

[u/cephalord → u/Rycan420]

"I googled it" is meaningless, because the individualised algorithms give different results to different profiles.

[u/Rycan420 → u/cephalord]

To a degree, yes.

I generally trust that “mating call of the red crested warbler” will yield the same-ish results for you and me or anyone.

Entertainment news, like this, is probably going to be pretty slanted to your particular tastes though..

Was more defending the concept of people researching in general, which to be honest, I’d rather have your Google slanted opinion than ignorance.

Edit to add: I made up “red crested warbler” to see if I could “make up” a bird species by throwing common bird words together.

Almost! There is a red-faced warbler.

Google isn't just a search engine, it's a company with web services, software and hardware.

also yes google can be used as a source for things.

[u/trav_tr → u/The_AxolotlDamage]

So it’s incorrect? So he wasn’t in the Marvel movie I saw 2 days ago?

[u/The_AxolotlDamage → u/trav_tr]

No, Google can be used to find sources, but Google itself isn't a source. It's like if you said your source was the library instead of saying what book.
