I'm starting to feel like AI is perhaps fundamentally counterproductive since it needs to predate on publicly available user generated content to punish and supersede the users who shared their info out of goodwill. That can only lead to a negative feedback loop leading then to poorly maintained, deprecated public datasets and sites. I don't know how bad It's gonna get, but this all looking a bit bleak to me

As a professional SEO who has been reporting on this feature for over a year, THANK YOU for bringing this to the public's attention. It would be one thing if Google's AI product were a massive improvement to its organic search results but we have overwhelming evidence to the contrary. And this is where we are at after a year of many of us beta testing this thing and finding these issues repeatedly. The loss of traffic and borderline plagiarism was already enough of an issue, but it definitely adds insult to injury that so many of the answers are this comically bad and/or dangerous.

I don’t understand why corporations won’t just compete to create a better, more efficient product, instead of trying to squeeze money out of everyone

[@Warpraum]

Simply because money is everything for corporations these days, especially if your company is on stock market. It doesn’t matter if it’s a good or shitty product, all that matters is revenue and yield. In my opinion free capitalism will fuck up everything over time that was good before. We will see how long it will take until no real human will work for Google anymore because an AI became CEO and found that paying real people is too expensive.

[@Xelaris]

​@@Warpraumyeah but if their product or service is bad then they are going to take a financial hit.. and if it is good the opposite is true... I'm sure they know that so I don't see that as an excuse. Or am i wrong?

[@Xelaris]

Unless they have such a monopoly to the point rhat they can just do that

[@allstarwoo4]

While I understand your sentiment question, why would I compete when it's easier to squeeze money out of everyone. Morals? Yeah right I'm a publicity traded business my first priority is to my stock holders meaning making money by anyway possible.

[@Xelaris]

@@allstarwoo4 i understand Now that i did a quick search about the topic, i get that companies need to generate profits short term because of investors, but it is also crucial for them to balance it with long-term sustainability. Quick gains shouldn’t compromise product quality or customer satisfaction because while some strategies might boost a company’s profits in the short term, they could harm its reputation or customer relationships in the long run. And as to how much harm there would be that's only something time can really tell (or someone qualified and experienced (perhaps google themselves)) Not like i would know since this is just something i searched up and I don't have a business of any sort

It’s disheartening when you try to do things right just to get scraped and still shown in SGE but completely booted from search. I film KZbin videos for every review/piece of content so you can see what I’m doing for full transparency. Folks don’t realize that AI isn’t creating new info, it’s just taking it from [often small] creators trying to put in the work. Yeah, G - please tell me how “stable” that training shoe is while deadlifting 500 lbs. Where did you get that info? 🙃 Regardless, we forge on. Can’t let the corporates win.

Same here, it used to be my full time job until I got hit in September and lost half my traffic, then in March I lost the other half lol. Had to get a regular job in order to sustain myself.

KZbin search has also been broken. I'll search for something and sort by upload date, and the first bunch of results seem fine. But then all of a sudden dates between videos jump up very fast as if there was a drought in uploads (just to give an example, the first 10 videos or so may all be from 1 week, and then 10 more videos later I'm suddenly at 10 months old or so and it only keeps getting older and older). But then when I limit the search results by video length, all of a sudden I get a bunch of NEW results that weren't there before despite meeting ALL my keywords, proving that a whole bunch of results were simply not shown (and that of course leaves the question if filtering video length is a solution to see everything, or if there are still a bunch of videos hidden just not as much as when not filtering video length).

I've noticed google's search results getting worse for a long while now. Back when I was in highschool and university it at least got me what I looked up relatively easily. Nowadays, you really have to dig and mess around with search queries to find exactly what you want even on what should be basic searches. It feels entirely sponsored and recency biased nowadays. Not to forget that it feels pretty censored at times. Same with the comment section on KZbin nowadays. Discussing Zombies and getting comments randomly shadow banned is so annoying.

It can't do math because it works like a text completion bot, it simply guesses which word goes next in the sentence, it doesn't understand singular words or numbers and only sees them as hashes that go together to form "coherent" sentences.

This just happened to my son and me last week. He was trying to figure out how many days are left in the school year if school was done on June 9th. It gave 3 different answers depending on how you asked the question, and none were correct. The first time, it included weekends as school days, then the second time, it didn't include weekends, but it forgot Monday is a holiday (mlMemorial day). Then the third time it seemingly understood the question and didnt include weekends or holidays as school days, but it still came up with the wrong answer. We gave up. It was just a test for fun anyway.

[@katnoto8993]

AI stuff isnt as good for stuff that's specific to your situation, because all it does is pool common answers together. The more common the question, the more likely it is to be correct. As soon as you need to know something that can have different answers depending on your specific situation, it has no common pool to draw an answer from. It doesn't know much of anything about your school or your part of the world or what year it is or have the ability to reason. It is just a "average answer" generator to the questions you give it. For things that rely on recent or specific, niche information, it has no examples to draw from, and the best it can do is the general concept of a school year, somewhere. For questions that have a generally consistent answer, like "how to tie shoes?" the answers it gives are going to be more useful. It will have many examples to draw from when answering, and the answer doesn't change from year to year. You can ask more specific questions but you will always get better results the more data is out there that already exists to answer your question. It doesn't work stuff out, it just repeats what the general consensus is for the answer.

[@another7please]

Another Google tip, set the search date to some time in the past, e.g. 1980-2005, and you get a time capsule of links that only existed during that time. It's really helpful for technical documentation because the quality of information has decreased after that time.
