I learned of this particular #GoogleFail via @aviendha69.bsky.social 's post:

https://bsky.app/profile/aviendha69.bsky.social/post/3k4yxz2zz7f2v

... and verified that I could find the same results. (For now, anyway. Sometimes things things get patched.)

Ok #Google. I am SO not on board with the adjustment of the new slides layout location. WAY not helpful. Please return the full powers to the plus sign.

Signed,

YouTube is rolling out "age-estimation" next week to limit content and options for those it's AI-algorithm determines are under 18. Those who are incorrectly flagged will have to verify their age using an ID or biometric scan.

Martin Coiteux was a Quebec treasury board president, not at the federal level.

A good reminder that you always have to check primary, reliable sources, not just accept the first answer that a machine spits out at you.
Google summary inaccurately describes former Quebec treasury board president Martin Coiteux as having held the same portfolio at the federal level.

Intentionally screwing up older devices so fear pushes us to spend on new(er) is rank end stage capitalism.

I googled "Art Nouveau World" (a well known architecture database) today and could not find it anywhere. In near panic, I consulted Reddit. Luckily someone had already opened a thread and posted the link to the website.

Google SERPS suck, now kids save all your websites!

Disgusting headline. There is nothing pro-life about taking away women's health, family planning, sexually transmitted disease care. Nothing pro-life about starving (to death) children in Gaza. Nothing pro-life about expanding the military or destroying the planet. #GoogleFail (for featuring)

Today’s example of GenAI nonsense. Cos people obviously sit in the water when they sit on the toilet. Unsurprisingly, the linked Spruce article says nothing about this point.
#AIFail #googleFail #whyIsThisEvenInProduction
Screenshot of a Google query: why does my toilet not flush fully for me but not my partner The Al Overview reads: “When a toilet flushes inconsistently between two people, the issue almost always stems from the timing of the flush or a difference in the volume of water manually pushed down the drain. Because the physical plumbing remains identical for both of you, personal flushing habits or anatomical differences are the core causes. Anatomical Differences and Buoyancy * Water Displacement: If one person is heavier or has a higher body mass, sitting on the toilet causes them to displace more water, bringing the water level in the bowl higher. This higher resting water level means that the flush has less "work" to do to get waste over the internal trap.” The AI summary goes on but the last point about water displacement comes with a link to a Spruce article titled ”Why Won't My Toilet Flush? 6 Causes and Solutions”.

#googlefail on this AI-generated idea of knitting.
The Google Logo for making a New Year's reasolution, depicting a ball of yarn and a square of fabric in place of "oo" with knitting needles somewhat entangled in a strand of yarn hovering over the top. Nothing about the arrangement of yarn ball, yarn strand, knit fabric and needles is accurate to representing "knitting".
