Google Search quietly solved its AI problem by ignoring Quora and cutting summaries. - ExBulletin

Overview Google's AI Overview came under fire for pulling information from unreliable websites and resulting in dangerous recommendations. The latest Google Search statistics show a significant drop in the appearance of AI Overview in search results, especially in education and ecommerce searches. Google has significantly reduced the tool's reliance on websites like Quora and Reddit by more than 99% after Overviews generated using comments from these websites recommended risky behaviors like glue sticking and eating rocks. Google announced the AI Overviews feature earlier this year for all U.S. users at its annual I/O developer conference, where the word "AI" was used more than 120 times onstage. The feature, which displays a consolidated summary of search results in a friendly (some might say not) panel at the top of the search page, was not immediately well received. A week after the feature's release, to users' dismay, Google announced that AI Overview would soon include sponsored ads, but that wasn't the worst part. Soon after its launch, users began noticing that the AI feature was spitting out nonsensical and often dangerous search results, like suggesting users put glue on their pizza or eat stones. Related: How to turn off Google's AI summary feature There's no direct way to do this, but you can use these workarounds to remove AI summaries from your search results. The tech giant was quickly forced to switch into damage control mode, saying the feature was getting answers to some users' questions from satirical articles and Reddit comments, which led to dangerous recommendations like adding glue to pizza. It then added measures to stop the feature from picking up nonsensical information, and it seemed to work for a while, but then it started recommending adding glue to pizza again, this time citing trusted sources that had reported on the AI feature's initial blunder. Since then, Google appears to have reduced the visibility of AI Overviews, and the statistics back that up. Related: Google's AI caused a glue-eating commotion, then learned from subsequent coverage to recommend glue again Google can't seem to escape its pizza glue fiasco According to a new Search Engine Land report highlighting statistics shared by BrightEdge, users are actually seeing fewer AI overview summaries overall, dropping from 15% of all searches in May to 7% as of July. Three major categories saw the biggest declines: education queries (where AI overviews fell from 26% to 13%), e-commerce queries (where AI overviews fell from 26% to 9%), and entertainment-related queries (where AI overviews fell to 0%). Summary, if displayed, is said to be shorter than before and take up less screen space. Citations from Reddit in AI overviews fall more than favorite cryptocurrencies Source: BrightEdge One thing Google learned from the pizza glue fiasco is that summaries need to ensure credibility, so citations from sources like Reddit and Quora took a big hit. This means that user-generated suggestions are much less likely, with around 85.71% and 99.69% less likely for information cited from Reddit and Quora, respectively. The report also highlighted an increase in summaries appearing for more specific searches using keywords like "best," "what," and "how." AI features also reported an increase in financial alerts in general and a decrease in listings, comparisons, product viewers, and carousels. With constant changes, it seems like the AI Summary feature isn't going away anytime soon, and Google is working to ensure it's delivered in a way that makes factual information easily accessible. While Summary may be useful in some situations, today's smart searchers already know what they're looking for and how to access it, so Summary feels like a speed bump that forces them to scroll before they can get to the actual information.

Microsoft Bing Gets GenAI Search Results, Similar to Google's AI Overviews - MySmartPrice

The feature is slowly rolling out to all Microsoft Bing users. Microsoft has introduced generative AI search results in its Bing search engine. It uses AI to analyse the top search results for your query and provide a quick summary with the most relevant information. The feature works similarly to Google's AI overviews. Bing's AI search results will also include citations to the actual sources. Here are the details. Microsoft has started integrating its generative AI large language models (LLMs) in its Bing search engine. When a user searches Bing, they will be presented with a quick AI-generated summary, just above the actual search results. The summary will be specially curated based on the search query. For instance, if a user searches for a food recipe, they will be provided with a brief containing the list of ingredients and the exact steps instead of sourcing from an external website. Microsoft says this will enhance user experience, as they will have quicker access to their answers. The AI-generated summaries will also have direct and clear citations of the source from where Bing picks up the information. In simple words, Microsoft is using the information from these external sources to create the summary instead of using the data from its LLMs. This will provide more accuracy in the answers. AI search results in Bing will slowly start rolling out to all users starting this month. The feature is currently available to a small set of early testers. Microsoft says that the company is actively seeking feedback to improve the experience of its Bing search engine and its new GenAI features. To recall, Google introduced AI search overviews in its search engine earlier this year. However, it faced severe backlash from all users as it contained factually incorrect information. Google had to scale down the deployment of its AI search overviews. The search engine market has received many new updates recently. OpenAI just announced SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine. However, it is only available as a prototype and is not yet available for public access.

Safari gets Apple Intelligence upgrade in iOS 18.1 with new summarize feature

The first iteration of Apple Intelligence is now in users' hands. New betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 have brought a subset of AI features in an early preview version. One such feature arrives in Apple's browser, Safari. Here's how iOS 18.1 infuses Safari with AI to provide webpage summaries. Safari's Reader mode gets multiple new features this year. There's a table of contents feature for pages containing headings and subheadings. And Reader is also where the new Apple Intelligence-powered page summaries live. When you open Reader view in iOS 18.1, there's a new 'Summarize' button at the top. It's flanked by the Apple Intelligence logo. Hit the button, and an animation will appear to scan the contents of the page with a purple Apple Intelligence glow. In my testing, this scan only ever took a second or two. Summaries were delivered very quickly across every device I used, including: Once the scan is complete, the page summary becomes available immediately. On iPhone, you'll see the summary at the top of the page, while on iPad and Mac it's displayed in a sidebar. I've found Safari's summaries both intelligent and helpful in my early use. This initial beta version will undoubtedly improve over time, but they're nice to have. By building summaries into Safari's Reader mode, Apple is in a sense minimizing how many people will actually use them. Safari summaries aren't automatic, and they aren't available in the normal website view. You have to open Reader before gaining the option for a summary. Even then, you need to manually request it every time. I'm curious if this decision was made in an effort to simply preserve processing power. Perhaps there was another reason? In future versions, it could be nice if summaries were viewable apart from Reader mode. It'd be great to have a dedicated summaries button in the Safari toolbar. When Apple first unveiled Apple Intelligence back in June, Safari was scarcely mentioned. New features like site summaries were detailed, but not as part of the Apple Intelligence story. Now that the first betas are out, however, it appears that Apple Intelligence is behind Safari summaries after all. The Apple Intelligence logo is used, and the interface works a lot like the summaries available with the new AI writing tools. It's unclear what this means for users without an Apple Intelligence-supported device, or if things might change during the beta cycle. Per Apple's iOS 18 website, Safari summaries will be available for all users, not just those with AI devices. Perhaps one Apple Intelligence feature, at least, will be making its way to a broader set of iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Have you used Safari's summarize feature? How well did it work? Let us know in the comments.

Reddit will use AI to summarize its insanely long threads and could transform the service

Reddit threads can be incredibly long, and sometimes it's challenging to figure out what they're really about, regardless of the title. Even searching for keywords can be hit or miss. The platform wants to help solve that issue and later this year plans to release a new AI-powered feature that will generate summaries at the top of search results. The idea is straightforward: AI fueled by large language models is good at condensing and summarizing big chunks of text, like those filling Reddit threads. By making these summaries part of Reddit's search system, users can more quickly find the content they're looking for at the time. There are millions of posts and comments added to Reddit every day, and parsing them for the content you're actually interested in would be a lot easier with an AI assistant to distill everything into concise explanations. "Reddit's content is uniquely valuable and becoming more important in the context of Internet search. Users run over 1 billion search queries a month on Reddit today, and our product work is improving the search experience and success rate on the platform," Reddit CEO Steve Huffman explained during the call. "Later this year, we will begin testing new search result pages powered by AI to summarize and recommend content, helping users dive deeper into product shows, games and discover new communities on Reddit." Huffman said the AI-powered summaries will use both first-party and third-party models to produce accurate and relevant summaries. The third-party element is notable since Reddit has recently closed off access to its data to companies that haven't reached specific deals with the company about doing so. Right now, that's basically just Google and OpenAI. Reddit also has a separate deal with OpenAI that allows Reddit to use OpenAI's LLMs for AI-powered features. This isn't Reddit's only experiment with AI on the site. The call also discussed the success of Reddit's AI language translation feature. The translator lets users engage with content in languages they may not speak, including German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Huffman partially credited the translator with making France one of Reddit's fastest-growing user bases. Offering AI-generated summaries arguably represents an even bigger opening for new Reddit users than the translation service. Seeing a summary at the top of a page helps people grasp what is under discussion much more quickly than diving into the whole thread, especially if it's large enough to discourage casual users from even beginning to do so. Easier navigation and absorption could make Reddit a much friendlier place to those who might not have a lot of time. Of course, that's only true if the AI summaries are good enough to avoid some of the issues that led Google to cut back on its AI Overviews in search responses.

The new Google AI Overview layout is a small win for publishers

Google's redesigned AI Overviews is a good change for publishers. Credit: Tada Images / Shutterstock Google's AI Overviews got off to a rocky start, but it hasn't deterred the tech giant from charging ahead with foisting AI-generated summaries upon your search results, like it or not. On Thursday Google announced new updates to AI Overviews, some of which might make publishers a little happier. As of today, Google is moving the relevant sites section of its AI Overviews to the righthand side of the page. This is a change from the previous interface which was below the AI-generated summary and features the websites more prominently. Now when you Google something like "how to get marks off walls," relevant pages show up right next to the summary. Other sites populate the page below in the classic format. On mobile, relevant sites are a little less prominent, but you can peruse them by tapping the site icons on the upper right. Additionally, Google is exploring a feature in its testing ground Labs that directly links to relevant sites. "[The goal is to] make it easier for people to click out and visit the sites that interest them and and reduce the friction even further," Hema Budaraju told Mashable. "This experiment has shown positive results that these links make it possible for people to connect, and naturally will drive more traffic to publisher sites." Aside giving erroneous responses, like the notorious glue-on-pizza debacle, the debut of Google's AI Overviews felt like a big middle finger to publishers who rely on search traffic and already have a tenuous relationship with the dominant search engine. "This will be catastrophic to our traffic, as marketed by Google to further satisfy user queries, leaving even less incentive to click through so that we can monetize our content," Danielle Coffey, CEO of the News/Media Alliance, told CNN when AI Overviews was first announced in May. Indeed, Marc McCollum, chief innovation officer at publisher monetization company Raptive told the Associated Press, that search traffic could decline by 25 percent, costing many publishers their main source of revenue. But that was then. Whether or not Google acquiesced to publisher backlash or simply wanted a better user experience is unclear. However, Google's announcement carefully positions itself and AI Overviews as a conduit for discovering more by clicking out to publisher sites. Google claims that AI Overviews have contributed to a "greater diversity of websites" and "higher quality" of clicks on those sites. We'd love to get our hands on that data, but alas, we'll have to take Google's word for it. Perhaps bolstered by its unpublished findings, Google is expanding AI Overviews to six countries: the UK, India, Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and Brazil, with local language support. Plus, users enrolled in Labs can test out new two new additional features. As of today, Labs users can save specific AI Overview responses so you can easily access it again. Users can also opt to "simplify" a response if the AI Overview is too technical or complicated for novices.
