Google is poisoning its own well. The only question is if they will come to their senses before it’s too late.

@chockenberry I think we can write off the whole “AI will turn into SkyNet and destroy the world” theory if the best it can do is suck.

@chockenberry wasn’t this already happening without AI too, with SEO and paid results?

hey guys it's Anya

I saw a post before about how hackers are now feeding Google false phone numbers for major companies so that the AI Overview will suggest scam phone numbers, but in case you haven't heard,

PLEASE don't call ANY phone number recommended by AI Overview

unless you can follow a link back to the OFFICIAL website and verify that that number comes from the OFFICIAL domain.

My friend just got scammed by calling a phone number that was SUPPOSED to be a number for Microsoft tech support according to the AI Overview

It was not, in fact, Microsoft. It was a scammer. Don't fall victim to these scams. Don't trust AI generated phone numbers ever.

@chockenberry ooooh. Google Business would at least have some protective measures against the phone number being listed.

Google would seem to be liable here since they actually CREATED and promoted the content?

@chockenberry Searching in 2005: wow the first result is exactly what I’m looking for! This is so easy

Searching in 2025: the first 5 results are scammers trying to steal my identity via malware and I have to be cautious of any actual results and cross reference the data externally to make sure its also not a scam, and hope my data isnt stolen anyways in a hack because a company forgot to secure their amazon VM. This is a miserable experience.
