As the head of Google notes in the NY Times:
Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Google and its parent company Alphabet, predicted at the DealBook Summit on Wednesday that “search itself will continue to change profoundly in ’25,” and that the pace of artificial intelligence development was “slowing down.”The comments were part of the annual event in Manhattan, a series of discussions with some of the biggest newsmakers in business and global politics. Jeff Bezos, the founder and executive chairman of Amazon and the founder of Blue Origin, will be the final speaker of the day.
I can see what is happening already. When doing a Goggle Search for "Julius Caesar" for example one gets first an "AI" result. This is a baseless result and may in fact be false. I should be seeing the "facts" such as Caesar's writings, the Roman historians, or other credible historians. NEVER some AI response.
A word for the wise, "Never Ever Trust an AI response" You never know the basis of the response. It is some computerized mish mash of unknown sources.
But alas, the Mandarins in Silicon Valley want to take the last pieces of reality from us.
