    Absolute pricks. “Don’t do evil” they said.

    AI has biases. News are titled to be biased too. This is grounds for fake news.

      I’d trust an LLM to summarize an article and give it an honest title over a piece of shit journalist that wrote it.

        In the short-lived news app Artifact, that was one of my favorite features. It was done on demand, and if a high portion of early viewers asked for a rewritten title, the rewrite would become the default for future viewserves.

        In the Artifact implementation, the LLM was specifically prompted by the app to summarize the article with an honest, non-clickbaity title. In Google’s case, they claim they are prompting the LLM to title the link to better tempt the searcher to click on it based on what they were searching for. Kind of the opposite. Yes, LLMs could do what you say, but that doesn’t seem to be how Google is setting it up.

      Don’t do evil

      Hasn’t that been Google’s guiding principle for quite some time already?

        “Don’t be evil” hasn’t been an official guiding principle for over a decade, no.

            Ah, I was waking up and didn’t see the strike through

            Both here and on reddit you can just say “whoosh” although it wouldn’t really have totally made sense

    If you use anything Google has touched, you’re an idiot.

      Man how the hell are we supposed to degoogle so fast. I literally only became aware that they sucked like 2 years after them being cool for most of my life. Getting rid of gmail is going to be tough. There literally isn’t a service the equal of YouTube or Gmail.

        There are alternatives to Gmail. I’d probably list out such services as Yahoo/AOL (I personally use the AT&T branded version of this service) and Hotmail (now known as Outlook.​com), but instead I’ll just tell you that you can enter a query like “free email provider” in your web search provider of choice and find several perfectly viable options. NOTE: whoever downvoted this needs to learn how to read and to understand that the comment I’m replying to is asking for “the equal of […] Gmail” which does NOT mean a “good email provider”. these options are selected to be corporate and abusive, much like Gmail.

          Those are all awful, none of the corporate tech companies are better they are all garbage. If they force you to give them a phone number, they do not deserve your business.

            you do realize he was asking for something “the equal of […] Gmail”, not a good email provider like disroot.org? if you didn’t and assumed he was asking for a good email provider based on the other replies… then I’m surprised at you
