I do understand that there’s information being collected, even though I’m not signed into a Google account. What I object to is AI making a public reference to the Municipality and the City I’m in. One example, a while ago I asked about a population estimate of an Australian town, and the reply included the population of the municipality I’m in and naming it, a totally irrelevant piece of private information.
Generative AI is now admitting that the responses may include mistakes, and not only that but ‘Made-up facts, Statistics, or even entire Articles’!
So, AI is up there, the first reply to any googled query, and I have to wade through mistakes and made-up facts? Easier to ignore it and move down to replies by well known reliable sources.
