Google’s AI overviews are accurate 91% of the time! Which means 9% of the time, the AI is just making stuff up. [NYT, archive] That’s not good enough when the AI hallucinates that someone’s a crook…

91% accurate means 9% made-up rubbish

      It is always enjoyable to see Americans realize their free speech laws/absolutism is a bit odd actually.

        The comments would also be wrong about / grossly over-simplifying American libel law. So whatever imaginary legal system they’re thinking of is even stranger.

        (I know approximately nothing about libel law which makes me an expert compared to the “confused American” commenter who apparently thinks it’s impossible to use the internet for libel)
