#search results

I'm researching some diet stuff for my semi-sister. This "People also ask" made me chuckle.

Surprise! It's Vegan!

I'm picturing a "gender reveal" party but for food. You pop the balloon (or whatever gimic you've gone for) and green beans fall out. Instead of packets of jerky, I guess.

@foone would just keep everyone guessing by using vegan jerky.

In case you wanted a really simple illustration of how AI-generated results are poisoning the accuracy of search engines. (Also worth mentioning I didn't get this on DuckDuckGo, my default engine with Firefox. Not anywhere in the first page of results.)

The last section tho:

This challenge in narrowing down search results to chat responses in an AI interface has just been highlighted by Leipzig University; its research specifically looked at the quality of search results for product reviews and recommendations.

The paper, titled “Is Google Getting Worse? A Longitudinal Investigation of SEO Spam in Search Engines,” asks whether SPAM and SEO gamesmanship has a disproportionate impact on the quality of results filtering through.

“Many users of web search engines complain about the supposedly decreasing quality of search results… Evidence for this has always been anecdotal, yet it’s not unreasonable to think that popular online marketing strategies such as affiliate marketing incentivize the mass production of such content to maximize clicks.”

In short, the answer appears to be yes.

“Our findings suggest that all search engines have significant problems with highly optimized (affiliate) content… more than is representative for the entire web.”

This is not specific to Google, of course, and the researchers also examined Bing and DuckDuckGo over the course of twelve months. Ironically, given Google’s focus on integrating generative AI and search, the researchers warn that this is a “situation that will surely worsen in the wake of generative AI.”

We have all become conditioned to judging the likely independence of search results as set out in our browsers, and we have learned to scan such results as today’s shop window equivalents. But in a world when you ask a chatbot “where’s the best place to buy a Samsung TV,” or “what’s the best pizza restaurant in Denver,” the format of your results will be very different. We all need to remember, it’s not really a chat.

The AI update coming to Google Messages is part of a trend, of course, and you can expect multiple such AI add-ons to come thick and fast, especially with Google driving much of the momentum. This should be good news for Android users.

We have just seen an official Chrome announcement on the introduction of three new helpful AI releases making their way into beta. Automated tab management and theme creation sound good, but it’s the Help me Write feature within Chrome that’s likely to be the most useful, especially on an Android mobile device.

We have also seen GMail’s own Help Me Write feature adapted to combine AI and voice, as spotted by TheSPAndroid, “Gmail's ‘Help Me Write’ can help you draft emails with ease and definitely can save you some time. Currently the functionality is available on both web and apps, but you have to write the email prompt yourself using the keyboard. On the Gmail app for Android, Google is working on a feature which will let you draft emails with voice [prompts].”

And there was the earlier news that Android Auto will use AI to intelligently filter information in and out of the system, while you keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road.

Many positives, clearly, but that core risk in narrowing search results isn’t the only word of warning here. Google Messages chats with Bard are not secured by end-to-end encryption, and Google (being Google) will store your data and use it to improve its algorithms. Just as with other such models, be careful what you ask.

No news yet on timing, but in all likelihood it isn’t far away. According to Bard, “Google has not yet announced an official release date for Bard in Google Messages, but it is expected to be available sometime in 2024.”

Dude… what the fuck is ZoronOS? If you’re gonna try linux at least try out a version that people actually use? Like idk red hat or Ubuntu or whatever, just don’t use the most obscure distro ever coded

Hey anon… guess what:

Then again, I guess it’s my fault for expecting competency out of someone who still recommends Red Hat after the stunt IBM pulled…

I don't know if it's just me, but Reddit seems to have started blocking Mullvad VPN IP Address, and I hate to tell Reddit, but if they think I'm gonna turn it off just for them, they've got another thing coming. I'm at the point where I wish I could just force Firefox to filter out any Reddit results from Google and DuckDuckGo because, at the moment, they're about as useful as they would be if they weren't even there.

A dream or hypnogogic hallucination where all of the search results for a Minecraft-related google search was about politics instead.

Last night, I crawled into bed and was about to plug in my devices and turn off my lamp so that I could go to sleep, but I accidentally drifted off before I could do so.

I had either a dream or a hypnogogic hallucination where I was back at my computer and playing Minecraft again. Just like I was at one point during the day, I was looking for quartz and was looking up if quartz only generates at certain Y levels. But for some reason there were only about 15 search results, and they were all full of pictures of old men in suits with American flags behind them saying political jargon that I don't understand.

The scenery was kind of switching rapidly, and there were voices saying "sociological, economical, [more similar sounding words that I don't know the meaning of (I wasn't even sure if "sociological" and "economical" were real words or if my brain made them up because I know so little about politics)]", and everything just seemed a lot more like a hypnogogic hallucination than a dream, which is why I think that's what it was. But it also seemed a lot like a dream due to the fact that it wasn't a completely jumbled mess. I think that it was a hypnogogic hallucination, and it's just a coincidence that I can find some sort of plot. Especially since I woke up so easily.
