The Main Event...

๐Ÿง  GOOGLE AI OVERVIEWS + YOUR HEALTH = YIKES?

Unreliable, full of bugs, and wrong 60% of the time.

Yep โ€” thatโ€™s Google AI Overviews in a nutshell. And now they think itโ€™s ready to start giving medical advice. What could possibly go wrong?

๐Ÿง  Googleโ€™s rolling out AI Overviews for health and medical searches, including a new โ€œWhat People Suggestโ€ feature that pulls tips from random users across the web.

Because clearly, Karen from a skincare forum is a solid source on cardiac symptoms, right?

๐Ÿ”Ž But hereโ€™s the kicker:

  • AI Overviews already have a sketchy track record โ€” misinformation, hallucinations, flat-out dangerous advice.
  • Experts are waving red flags, warning this move could be straight-up risky.
  • Google literally shut down its health division in 2021, and now it's hoping AI can justโ€ฆ wing it?

And yeah โ€” thatโ€™s a bit of a problem.

GD Tech Nerds!

GD Tech Nerds, Meta is working ceaselessly to create fake humans that can talk and look just like real people. The new tech it's doing this with is called MoCha โ€“ it's not available yet but it'll be coming soon enough. Here's what MoCha can ALREADY do... The goal? No one really knows. Apparently it'll be used in movies (not on Brain Cranston's watch, though) and games. Or, for artificially boosting Facebook users (pun very much intended), finally competing The Dead Internet Prophecy once and...

GD Tech Nerds, Where are you on the AI in search debate? Me โ€“ I donโ€™t mind it, I just wish there was a way to switch it off. Googleโ€™s approach is heavy-handed, risky, and comes at a great cost: the death of the open web, if nothing is done about it. You cannot hide behind the sofa, pretend itโ€™ll go away. AI is here to stay, whether we like it or not. But DuckDuckGo proves you can do AI search in a nice way, without forcing down peoplesโ€™ throats and killing the entire publishing industry in...
