Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou

[ayeforscotland]

Let’s fucking go

[made-in-manetheren]

This is HUGE.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.

Like to charge, reblog to cast

Would be nice if the entire world got in on this, but I fear Google would just treat any lawsuits as a 'business expense' and not actually change anything.

Small Update

PSA: For fan works, reblog and like from OP

Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.

Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.

If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!

I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.

big shout out to tumblr for being the first major site in like two years to implement an ill-advised "feature" nobody wants, likes or respects that doesn't involve AI

You sure Silver isn't a rabbit?

Jus because he maybe sleeps under Amy’s porch during his time travels to the past and eats all her lettuce until she scares him off with the garden hose doesn’t mean he’s a rabbit, cmon

Sonic 3 Moon Scene.

Edit: Sonic originally said “I miss my dad” cause Tom. But I realized having him refer to Longclaw is more accurate to the scene lmao

Dangerous ad going around on Tumblr ⚠️

For those who are unaware, there's been ads for a/i chat/bots going around on Tumblr. Specifically for "shapes.inc".

Obviously this is immediately worrying as chat/bots prey on low mental wellbeing, loneliness and someone's desire to interact, to then make them dependant and use their services more.

However, the ads themselves have stopped being quiet about that aspect. Here's one of the most worrying ads (aside the one that legitimately encourages users to make chat/bots of their friends' OCs without their consent, while also trying to claim that its "ethically sourced" - not telling us WHAT'S even sourced here - and therefore "guilt free".)

This is disgusting, plain and simple.

Not only is it directly preying on loneliness outright - it's encouraging a user to make a bot out of someone real without their consent. Not even a friend, no - a MUTUAL. It's encouraging parasocial dependency - just LOOK at what the "OP" is saying here: "RESPOND" "DID YOU DIE?" "PLEASE" "I MISS YOU".

It's not just encouraging parasocial behaviours nor just dependency overall, but encouraging users to breach the others' privacy just so they can pretend they're speaking to them.

Ads like this should not be allowed anywhere. Tumblr needs to get rid of it outright before someone gets hurt.

Also, the censoring is to avoid search exploit spambots. Thank you.

[mama-qwerty]

Ignore each and every one of those ai chatbot ads.

DO NOT make chatbots of real people just because you "need to talk to them nowwwww"

DO NOT make chatbots of someone else's OC - it's not flattering, it's not your character to 'bring to life'

DO NOT engage with these chatbots AT ALL. They are NOT real people, they are NOT going to combat your loneliness, they're just going to make you addicted to talking to them, and make you feel even more lonely because they will monopolize all your time and energy, so you have none left for actual REAL people who will want to chat.

These things are designed to keep you using them. Keep you talking. Keep you feeding them information and prompts so they'll get better at imitating real people.

Not to mention, making a chatbot of a real person is insanely violating for that person. They have no idea what you're chatting about with it. It could be saying things that they personally would not approve of. This is the next level of "deep fake", and some people may become confused as to what the real person thinks or feels. If the chatbot version seems to be coming onto you and wishing to engage in some kind of relationship, it would be very, very easy for the one chatting with it to confuse that with the actual real person's feelings.

Ever had a dream when you were mad at someone and then woke up still feeling angry at them? Over something dream them did?

Yeah, this is worse.

Do not be drawn in by these things. Please, please do not create a chatbot of one of your mutuals (or someone you wish was a mutual) and then engage in some fabricated conversation where you feel like you're real friends.

That's weird. Like, really, really weird.
