Oh, to be spurned by Dario...
The alternative is for the AI to probably even know more about you so it knows more about the context. I tried to reproduce it on Gemini, same thing - except I clarified the context a bit by saying 'I was just searching online for the reference "hes never coming over dario" to find the article that used it' and it linked me to a repost of this very submission. A Google search did not automatically invoke the AI overview.
Honestly, some people would probably welcome this, but if a big corporation puts out something that acts like a therapist while harvesting people's data, it should be liable for its mistakes and the data gathering as well.
I disagree. The alternative is for Google to teach the AI summary that search terms aren’t conversational messages. Judging by the screenshots in the blog, the actual search results were spot on. The AI should stick to summarizing those, not acting like your friend.
