In reply to the discussion: Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google [View all]reACTIONary
(7,361 posts)We can see this happening by comparing, for instance, the Chief Twit's Grok to other AI engines. He even proclaims his violations of the Overton window as a "feature, not a bug."
I'm not sure how to enforce a reasonable "Overton window" in the age of the internet, regardless of the search engine used. As you note Google and all the others use their influence over search results, AI or otherwise, for their own ends. I tend to trust organizations that are in it for the money a bit more, as opposed to those explicitly aiming for political influence. But my searches are typically for basic facts, not opinions based on the facts. The predatory habits of red shoulder hawks is probably not a big target for political manipulation.
One irony about the court ruling is that we don't actually know what the court ruling was. As explained in the article, the authors used Google to translate the ruling from the German to English! So that nefarious AI was in the loop! Who knows what malicious misrepresentation it introduced!
