For those not aware, Google is rolling out their new AI-based "Generative AI" search, which seems to mesh Bard with the standard experience.

I asked it today why Google no longer follows their "don't be evil" motto... The results are pretty hilarious.

To me it's more amazing that people take a bot, that's hypothesizing about a loaded question by alleging possible reasons, as facts.

That was my first thought as well. It's a bullshit generator. My next question would be "can you provide sources for these?"

Do they take it as fact or do they think it's great that Google's tools are calling google out on it's own bullshit?

The tool isn't calling anything, it's a forced answer. People just want to believe I guess.
