Comment on EU investigates Google over AI-generated summaries in search results
NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Remember when companies like Google and Facebook got slapped with fines and fees from various countries for sumerizing news in news feeds on their sites.
News outlets were complaining about loss of ad revenue as a result of reduced traffic to their website directly.
Facebook even in some cases blocked news links in some countries from not showing on users feeds, so as to be compliant and not pay fees.
Guess AI summarising news is somehow completely different.

The difference is that the AI summaries blatantly make shit up and actively contribute to the spread of misinformation

Would be interesting to know which is actually worse for spread of misinformation, AI summaries, or “news” being shared on Facebook.
