You are right, the article and the users on Twitter are all blaming Google and the AI but the blame is at the source of information.
Nah. It would be easy and probably responsible for google to ban site's that are malicious like that from poisoning their AI. I think the blame rests squarely on google.
I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it
I mean, I don't see a reason to get upset with Google here -- Google's got no incentive to have the SEO crowd do well, combat them too -- but it's Google that isn't doing the right assessment with their page ranking system if the problem is that the better information source is Wikipedia and Fandom is being ranked more-highly.
Isn’t just summarizing the top/sponsored link instead of pulling from all sources the issue, though? Like sure, Fandom is gaming the SEO system, but why is the obnoxious Google AI that’s the first thing you see just pulling from one source?
