Today I was trying to look up the syntax for how to search before a certain date on Google. The google AI overview turned out to be wrong
Does Italy exist?
Google: Blue right?
WTF is this sexy Garfield
Google has been mining your dreams
Lets check the google results for italy Huh no results?
Google was broken the moment it started to manipulate, in a biased manner, the search results.
Well in fairness I’ve never been to Italy, so it’s possible it doesn’t exist.
I have been so it does exist. However I’ve never been to Greenland, so Greenland may not exist.
Greenland is just a trick played on Canadians
Hey now, you’re not wrong, but you don’t have to call us out like that… Eh?
… Sorry.
Yeah, but I haven’t met you so…
I have been to it and i can confirm it doesnt exist
I’ve been in Italy a couple of times but hell if I know if I exist.
Use https://wiby.me/ for everything but documentation
I switched to the French search engine Qwant. Much nicer.
But every result is a recipe for baguettes
At least those recipes don’t incorporate glue.
Gluten would like a word
Can’t find anything wrong with that.
But I already know how to make baguette
Problem solved then!? :-P
Yes, we need to accept that it is broken and move on to something that isn’t
This post made me actually pay for kagi
Let’s call it Newgle
Isn’t that a demon in Warhammer?
Like Korn?
I think you’re mistaking Khan, the good guy in Star Wars
You definitely meant Kang, the master of time and space.
You mean Krang, the body less head?
Isn’t Korn a band IRL?
Twogle!
Lougle has a better ring to it.
I’ll wait a few years for the Walougle fork, thanks
oh I totally agree. they’ve got good pizza and history though.
“nope”, but it’s a 100-word excerpt from Reddit that pops in just as you’re about to click a link and shifts everything down.
I’m in Finland so I can only give a sad forlorn look toward Italy and say “First time?”
Anyway.
Now:
Me: “What’s the weather like today?”
Computer: “It’ll be 25°C or so.”
Me: “How do you know that?”
Computer: “I looked up your location and queried the national weather service.”
Soon:
Me: “What’s the weather like today?”
Computer: “It’ll be 25°C or so.”
Me: “How do you know that?”
Computer: “Fuck if I know. I’ve just learned that is a thing that people apparently say in situations like this.”
You: “How do you know that?”
Computer: “u/trollface69420 says ‘Its always 25°C or so lol’”
Denying reality for delusions is always an option.
Asked Google assistant today what the withdrawal symptoms of Adderall were… got told the suicide prevention hotline. So, that was fun.
To be fair, any drug of abuse potential will usually trigger SAMSHA links in the US by law. That might have been what you saw, and it’s been that way for at least a decade.
That’s… Less than helpful.
(Also, I can try to field this one for you: headaches, fatigue, mental fogginess, sometimes temporary depressed mood or irritability, maybe increased appetite?)
Well, google’s American, and American’s like talking about “iddly” a lot. From context it would appear to be related to Italy. So perhaps try googling “does iddly exist” (tldr: it does).
Yep
Well i guess i don’t really exist then.
I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
