The court treated the AI overviews as Google's own content and rejected Google's argument that users were responsible for fact-checking the results themselves.

Ah yes we'll force feed you info as the first thing but you're responsible for checking it. What a plan.

I absolutely love seeing these types of rulings. Y'all want the stochastic AI to run all these things be prepared to be legally on the hook for the shit it does and says.

this is an LLM killer for germany, this will force compnays to not rely on these buggy POS until it at least operates reliably. or risk lawsuit as people fish for reasons to sue using the chat bot.

Easy fix. Google just needs to prompt their AI with "make no mistakes".

If stupid corporations want to have the same rights as humans then they should be bound by the same laws.
