Two weeks ago, Google’s AI-generated responses were causing controversy for providing strange and inappropriate answers. However, since then, the conversation around this topic seems to have quieted down. It is unclear whether Google has improved its AI responses or simply reduced their visibility to users. According to a blog post from Google, they addressed the issue by restricting the use of AI answers, especially for important and sensitive topics. They have also made technical updates to improve response quality. Social media monitoring data from Brandwatch shows a decrease in complaints about Google’s AI responses following a spike during the Google I/O event on May 14. Search optimization company BrightEdge also observed a decrease in the frequency of AI responses generated by Google. Despite this, Google is currently facing a $2.3 billion lawsuit from media groups over alleged advertising losses. Overall, it seems that Google may have made changes to improve its AI responses and reduce the visibility of inappropriate answers.
