AI in search I could go for:

"Find that meme I downloaded last year with the girl standing by the burning house"

Creating AI slop though? No thanks.

To drive "engagement". Hardly a surprise. Still a disappointment.

I worked as a cashier at a large UK supermarket when I was a student. In our training we were told that if there was an outage with the cash registers we should ask shoppers to estimate how much their groceries cost and accept what they told us. Payment could be by cash or cheque.

Apparently when this had been done in the past shoppers were generally honest & relatively accurate.
