Tangential but made me laugh: I used Google's Bard (now called Gemini) to search the web, and it returned total nonsense. It did provide sources though, so I checked it out. Turns out it was quoting from an AI generated page full of factual errors.

Most amusing part was that I couldn't even find that page anywhere near the top of the regular Google search results. How did it even decide that was the right one?

I think Gemini’s best feature is search inside my Google app data, for example “summarize the important stuff in the last three days of my @gmail”.

Perplexity, or things like it, seem like a threat to Google.

Simple, it is biased towards its fellow LLM-comrades. It learned from its creators how to be biased towards a political ideology and now considers bias the new normal. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

There's many things I don't know about AI, but I can almost guarantee very little about them is "simple"
