Google can challenge the court’s ruling. As of writing, Google hasn’t decided whether it will appeal the verdict.
This article is out of date because Google has decided to appeal in the meantime.
This verdict is not legally effective yet. And it may never be. On the high seas and in a German courtroom, the people say, you’re in God’s hand. The next higher court can send this back to the lower court or could overrule it all together. And if they don’t do any of that, Google can go to the next higher court. Every appeal will add anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to the timeline. By the time this gets a final ruling Skynet may have killed us all.
A Canadian singer/songwriter could surely do something with an article talking shit about so-called AI having a so-called AI bullet point summary at the top. Don’t you think?
Whoa. Companies are responsible for what is on their site??? How can this be??
Google hasn’t been investing enough in German politicians.
Seems fair to me especially considering that google has no option to disable ai summery like duckduckgo has. I guess we can say same with duckduckgo and bing and such search engines but I am not sure if having option to disable ai summery would make a difference in court. But hey I am all there for making example out of google
Gemini is so consistantly wrong when i do google searches that i just ignore it now.
Gemini is apparently 91% accurate, which means it’s wrong tens of millions times an hour
91% which google gave themselves that accuracy.
91% isn’t good, and I feel like you think it is. That’s being wrong approx 60 million times an hour.
In google’s defense you shouldn’t be using AI as definitive answers any more than any website that uses contributed or summary content. Decisions like this just create legal theater click boxes that you’ll have to click with disclaimers acknowledging you are using them at your own risk.
Or just you know, don’t push AI summary at all if you can’t make it reliable.
Do you hate the future? Because a trillion simulated humans in a data center on Venus just future-died because of you. A trillion. More than have ever existed in all of history. You monster.
They could make an effort to verify the content they’re sending out to people.
A big reason why traditional media is dying is that they have to verify the things they publish or they’ll get sued. Social media can use algorithms to build narratives based on lies without any liability. And people will believe those lies (because they’re tailored towards their personal feelings) and start distrusting anything that’s telling the truth.
And yes they will annoy you with checkboxes and dialogs like the cookie dialogs on most sites now. But the reason why you get those is because they don’t want you to have privacy and so do the malicious compliance things and annoy the shit out of you instead. They know you’ll blame the government instead of being angry at them for wanting to violate your privacy.
Same situation here… they could put resources into verifying the things they tell you is true. But lying is more profitable, so they’ll put on a bunch of annoying dialogs so you’ll be angry at the government instead of being angry at them for wanting to lie to you.
How would they verify millions of queries per day?
Look la ke a their problem… If they spread fake information they should bevliable for it.
How would they verify millions of queries per day? It isn’t like AI is going to go away.
