After AI Suggests Eating Rocks and Adding Glue, Google Restricts Search Result Summaries
Key Points:
- Google is refining and retooling its summaries of search results generated by artificial intelligence.
- AI-generated summaries have been returning bizarre and inaccurate answers, including suggestions to eat rocks or add glue to pizza sauce.
- The company will restrict the types of searches that will generate AI-written summaries.
- Google has added limitations on including satirical and humorous content in the summaries.
- Action will be taken against AI summaries that violate content policies, which occur on fewer than 1 in 7 million unique search queries where the feature appears.
Final Thoughts:
Google’s AI-generated summaries have certainly had some hilarious and questionable moments. While the company has recognized the need for refinement and reduction, it’s a good move to restrict the types of searches that generate these summaries. After all, we don’t want people eating rocks or adding glue to their pizza sauce! With these actions, Google aims to improve the accuracy and relevance of its search result summaries. Let’s hope it leads to more reliable and informative AI-generated content in the future!
