Google faces its first AI Overviews lawsuit from a major US publisher

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-26 03:23:33

Even though Google's AI Overviews were introduced with a comically rocky start, it's about to face a far more serious challenge. Penske Media, the publisher for Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard and others, filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the tech giant illegally powers its AI Overviews feature with content from its sites. Penske claimed in the lawsuit that the AI feature is also "siphoning and discouraging user traffic to PMC's and other publishers' websites," adding that "the revenue

Google's AI Is Committing a Unique Evil: Giving Gamers Tips That Are Actually False

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-21 05:28:30

Back in the day, getting fooled by a fake cheat code from word of mouth or early web forums was almost a rite of passage for gamers. It's been a long time since people were playing Pokemon Yellow and Final Fantasy for the first time, however, and AI has apparently taken over the role that used to be filled by your idiot brother.

If You Ask Google Why It Sucks Now, AI Overviews Will Viciously Bully Google and Itself

Google's notorious AI Overviews feature appears to have finally gotten it right — but for all the wrong reasons. As flagged on Bluesky, if you ask Google why its own search engine feels so useless lately, the company's AI feature will provide multiple and excoriating reasons — including brutal attacks against itself, Google's much-maligned AI Overviews. In that Bluesky post, Google responded broadly to the hilariously colloquial query of "why is google ass now" with a self-flagellating list of
