>Google Canada spokesperson Wendy Manton issued a statement saying Google’s “AI overviews” are frequently changing to show what she described as the most “helpful” information.
Oh yeah, falsely accusing a known artist of SEXUALLY ASSAULTING MINORS certainly is “helpful.”
F- Google, and F- AI. Imagine this happening to someone who doesn’t have social clout to protect them from these kind of damming false accusations? Are we really going to surrender all decision making and critical thinking to freaking Google?!!
I’m so viscerally upset by this, Jesus Christ.

I’m just happy to hear Ashley MacIsaac still plays. “Sleepy Maggie” is one of my favorite tracks from the 90s.

Canceled an artist based on just the summary? They could have atleast checked the sources links that would have probably lead to nowhere as most of Google AIs sources links do.

Blame First Nation for taking the AI summary at face value.

Best part of this article is the end where it says “actually, he is a sex offender because he flashed reporters”

Imagine flying somewhere with your fiddle, getting questioned at customs, mentioning to the agent that you are a fiddler, he thinks that sounds neat, googles your name and you’re in one of the most awkward situations imaginable.
