Google AI consumer ventures have been one misstep after another. First, there was Google Bard, which hallucinated during it's launch demo. Then came Google Gemini, with its 'woke history' incident. And now, their new AI search feature is getting roasted online for its many flaws. It feels like Google is just chasing OpenAI’s coat-tails, desperate to stay in the race. But here’s the thing: competition is fine, but not at the expense of responsibility. As AI developers, we have a huge responsibility to ensure our tech is safe, ethical, and ready for the real world. Google seems more focused on pushing out flashy features than on proper testing and ethical considerations. They need more thorough beta testing and robust red-tape teams before releasing these technologies to the world. Evolution in tech is crucial, and while I’m sure Google will improve over time, it’s necessary to voice our concerns now, especially before widespread AI adoption. What are your thoughts on Google’s approach? Do you think they’re prioritizing hype over responsibility? Let’s discuss! #Google #AI #Hype #AINews #AIDebate #AIEthics

Will the AI revolution crown Bing as the search engine king? 👑 Not entirely likely, but don’t underestimate it. OpenAI and Microsoft's connection has elevated Bing's search index. With ChatGPT's influence spanning across platforms—including Apple, which notoriously keeps to itself—Bing deserves your attention. Here are some of the measures we’re taking: ➡️ Expanding our SEO strategy beyond Google to encompass all search engines. ➡️ Investigating the distinctions between Google's and Bing's ranking systems. ➡️ Studying website rankings and analyzing user preferences on Bing to better understand its appeal and algorithm. How do you think Bing’s rise will change the SEO game? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. ⬇️ www.harry.marketing #TrendingThursday

In a world where information is just a click away, we've grown accustomed to relying on folks like #Google to provide us with accurate and trustworthy information. After all, with over 90% of the global market share, they've become synonymous with finding stuff online - to the point where "google it" has become a household phrase. But, the reality is: even the tech giants we trust can get things wrong. So, so very wrong. As users began to spot inaccuracies and hallucinations in their #AI overviews, it became clear that the very technology meant to enhance our search experience is actually spreading misinformation. From suggesting the use of freakin' GLUE in pizza sauce to falsely claiming that President Andrew Jackson graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2005, these AI-generated summaries have showcased a concerning lack of factual accuracy. The irony of this situation is that tools supposed to make our lives easier and more efficient are now pushing us all to level up our critical thinking skills. We can no longer blindly trust the information presented to us, even when it comes from a "reputable" source. Instead, we're taught to approach every piece of information with a healthy dose of skepticism, double-checking facts and sources to ensure we aren't being misled. In a way, AI is forcing us to become better consumers of information, but at the cost of eroding our #trust in the very platforms we once relied upon. Thanks, Google, I hate it.

61% of GenZ report using AI tools in place of search engines. Google is a monster and I know examples like Microsoft itself in early 2000s where they were in trouble and bounced back famously.... But I think Google is on the ropes right now. A major percentage of revenue comes from Google ads. Redundancies. Internal politics. Botching execution. Perplexity going head on openly at Google. "The future of search provides answers, not links, from quality sources across the web. It explores the corners of the internet in real-time - from academic research to news articles. The answers are derived from trusted sources and include transparent citations."

Google AI has released Gemini, which includes Ultra, an advanced version and direct competitor to ChatGPT. But if you're in the Google universe, it's not really a direct competitor. It's your next AI utility that's part of your Google one subscription. Welcome to the land of AI premium services. It seems like Google is Morpheus in this part of the Movie! 🧠🤖 For software companies providing infrastructure services, eye services and utilities should be on your roadmap and be rolled out this year. As a vertical marketing product specialist, I know these features are easy to build if you've got solid engines and utilities to create industry-specific features and functions. 😎👍 In the world of insurance, think about reading or pricing analysis. These are features that are based on calculations, but their use and roll-out maintenance and augmentation can all be supported by transformation tools that generate AI that is really good at it. ☂️💻 Check out my thoughts and gens on the Google release here: https://lnkd.in/g8agmsgR Howard Fields Andrew Hoerner Andrew Robinson Craig Stark Matt Demmler Sean Moffitt Gina Clifford Louise Mowbray Chuck Metz, Jr. Scott Howard Sylvia Gallusser Antonia Nicols Geoffrey Frodsham Alex Bewley Michael Ho

11 months ago, Maxime Derian wrote on LinkedIn that Google's once indisputable hegemony in online search was not indestructible : https://lnkd.in/eCS6q5SR The pincers threatening Google are as follows: 1 ) 📈 On the one hand, with the leverage of OpenAI, Microsoft (with the addition of ChatGPT's AI in #Edge and #Bing and #Copilot) is becoming hype again, and many competitors are appearing increasingly interesting compared to Google. 2) 📉 On the other hand, doubt in the sorting of #fakenews, overt ideological orientation biases and competitors like Perplexity that focus on reliability and veracity threaten the everyday trust that Google users have. So, after last week's #Gemini AI blunders (Nazi soldiers, founding fathers and popes systematically depicted as non-white, for example) and the subsequent suspension of the image generation module is a real, unusual problem for Alphabet Inc. It's a problem of perceived trust in the reliability of Google's products. « Hi everyone I want to address the recent issues with problematic text and image responses in the Gemini app (formerly Bard). I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias — to be clear, that’s completely #unacceptable and we got it wrong. (…) We know what it takes to create great products that are used and beloved by billions of people and businesses, and with our infrastructure and research expertise we have an incredible springboard for the Al wave. Let’s focus on what matters most: building helpful products that are deserving of our users’ #trust. » #SundarPichai, Google CEO in the internal memo to all Google employees on Tuesday February 27.

(which largely initiated the current AI boom by helping with the technical realization of model #transformers - the "T" in GPT, as it were-) still remains in a leadership position among the #AMMANATs (Alphabet Inc., Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, NVIDIA, Apple and perhaps Tesla), an acronym I use rather than the obsolete #GAFAM. 💎💻 #Heruka_AI_Consulting offers its expertise in the transition to AI for corporate strategy and information for social and technological players. #trust #Google #gemini #AI #business

Why is E-E-A-T worth nothing? Back in the day, I shared my thoughts about this on X (previous Twitter). Now I want to share this thread on here. At that time, Google had yet to start rolling out AI overseas. Now, since Google's AI tells its users to add glue to pizza, I'm more than sure that EEAT has nothing to do with Google's real factors. So what? Google promises to improve the search experience after the AI overview rolling out. But, first of all, no one ever opted in for AI overview. And this made clear to me that Google was not fully prepared for this. It gives low quality answers. It is not helpful. It is pushing down the organic results. A number of contradictions, right? Google says create helpful content but pushes down the most helpful content. And I can tell you a lot of more. Anyways, let's wait for better results and adapt to what we have now. #SEO | #AI

'Unacceptable, we were wrong": Under-fire Google CEO Pichai reacts to Gemini AI fall-out https://lnkd.in/eSBpWV8h Download Economic Times App to stay updated with Business News - https://lnkd.in/eK4XZsX #google #sundarpichai #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligenceforbusiness

#Google #SGE launch would have a profound impact on #Growth PMs in 2024, esp those whose organic search / content as the major growth channel. SGE would also be a great example (either success or failure) for all #PMs, on how to pivot a mature product into a new direction. Here are some of my thoughts on this impending launch: - ChatGPT is still relatively niche with only around 14% of U.S. adults having used it so far, compared to almost ubiquitous use of search engines. - Integrating large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT into search could be extremely costly for Google, with estimates of $30 billion in added costs. - Google's core search business is still very profitable at $175 billion, so there is no urgent threat requiring a rushed SGE launch. There are various challenges in changing the mature search product experience in a drastic way with generative AI, some launch strategies: - Start with niche query types like longer queries, question queries, or voice search. - Launch to limited user segments like desktop users or paid Google One subscribers. - Launch SGE as a new dedicated search experience separate from core web search. https://lnkd.in/ecBN9-Vq #Google #SGE #GenAI #LLMs
