[–] sinematic@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 months ago (3 children) Absolute pricks. "Don't do evil" they said. AI has biases. News are titled to be biased too. This is grounds for fake news. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Randelung@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago Don't, do evil! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jiral@lemmy.org 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) Don't do evil Hasn't that been Google's guiding principle for quite some time already? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) "Don't be evil" hasn't been an official guiding principle for over a decade, no. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jiral@lemmy.org 2 points 5 months ago* (1 child) On reddit I would respond with r/woosh permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago Ah, I was waking up and didn't see the strike through Both here and on reddit you can just say "whoosh" although it wouldn't really have totally made sense permalink fedilink source parent [–] sigmabot@lemmy.zip -3 points 5 months ago* (1 child) I'd trust an LLM to summarize an article and give it an honest title over a piece of shit journalist that wrote it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lyrl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago* In the short-lived news app Artifact, that was one of my favorite features. It was done on demand, and if a high portion of early viewers asked for a rewritten title, the rewrite would become the default for future viewserves. In the Artifact implementation, the LLM was specifically prompted by the app to summarize the article with an honest, non-clickbaity title. In Google's case, they claim they are prompting the LLM to title the link to better tempt the searcher to click on it based on what they were searching for. Kind of the opposite. Yes, LLMs could do what you say, but that doesn't seem to be how Google is setting it up. permalink fedilink source parent
