9 months agoI’m an Apple user, for the most part, and I’ve noticed lately that in the last 6-12 months Google Maps has deteriorated significantly for me while Apple Maps has gotten better and better. Even things you’d think would be similar, e.g. satellite imagery, for my area Google’s imagery is now a half-decade out of date while Apple’s is current.
It really does feel like most of Google’s consumer-facing products are languishing.
I think that with people constantly figuring out how to game the GPT chat bots, if we see a few more rulings like this where companies are liable for the chat bot’s responses, we’ll see a shift back towards “dumb bots” where there’s explicit control over the responses. If people realize you can get free stuff just by manipulating a chat bot, and a company is liable for what the chat bot says…I just don’t think it’s tenable for them.
