I remember a time where you would get multiple results from a search with no scrolling

can@sh.itjust.works to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 584 points –

Edit:

The poll stopped me in my tracks but it's actually even worse.

It should not take this long to get to imdb

Edit2: didn't even realize it thinks I'll "love it" based on things I look up. I don't think I'd like it.

Edit³: IMDb was the example I used without thinking. I'm aware that there's a link to it in the top card. It's the other web results that I don't already know about that I'd like to see. I now know there's a hidden "web" tab. There's also https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=example` but it's still mildly infuriating that you have to know about these things to get the basic results we expected for years.

Are they trying to train an AI?

I doubt it. They know I'm into audio production and this is kind of a softball question. Maybe if they start giving me more advanced ones.

The Gemini logo next to the word "Experiment" makes me suspicious.

The quiz itself was definitely made by an AI.

I think it's just something creators can do to boost gain extra impressions but apparently they don't have to do it themselves anymore...

no, too stupid of a question

Simple questions with known answers might be a way to weed out malicious/untrustworthy responders.

Yes, control questions, in a form, with 20 other open-ended questions which answers actually have value.

This is solely for engagement. Trivia questions have no value for training models.
