    Meh. For a control I need to see a comparison of the lies in the search results. I bet Gemini is doing a better job than the limitless bullshit that people are expected to click on.

    Let us not forget that Gemini is often pointing out basic facts like, “vaccines actually work” when people search for information about them. This angers a lot of complete idiots and results in anger-inducing clickbait articles… Like this one.

    The fact that a machine can get 90% of everything correct is fucking amazing. And the pace of improvement in AI in general is astounding. Try to keep that in perspective when reading stories like this.

    Anything over 50% is probably better than a random sampling of humans could do, based on our current state of education and “knowledge upkeep” (which is something most humans fail at, utterly and completely).
