Months after people started talking about it on the Fediverse, my Google has *finally* started giving me "AI Overviews" when I ask it questions.
I've been using it for the past week, and I must be honest, I'm pretty well impressed. I have yet to see one hallucination, nor have I been advised to throw myself off a bridge or drink detergent to cure my eczema, or any of the other crazy things I've seen in screenshots.
I'm sure those things exist, as with any LLM, but I also get a feeling that sometimes, the anti-AI crowd goes out of their way to catch these LLMs out by asking questions that are the most likely to result in these laughable situations, perhaps multiple times in different ways until they get one, just so they can post a screenshot and say, "Lookie AI sucks waaaaah!" 😛
(Of course, when I say it's pretty good, I do mean it's pretty good from a purely consumer perspective. Obviously it reduces the traffic to the sites that serve as sources of that information, so those creators lose out. That's a separate discussion. 😔)
