Comment Google news all over again (Score 5, Interesting) 46

I don't understand how this will work... won't the websites that are required to train the AI be pissed off that searchers will no longer be going to their sites, but instead staying on google with the results.

This was the same thing with the news sites when Google News just gave a blurb with the news, but didn't require going to the actual news sites.

This is only a free lunch so long as everyone else pays. As soon as everyone stops getting traffic from search, because the AI has "all the answers", what is going to be the point of having your website.

Yeah, getting the answer, and followup answers that narrow the scope. As opposed to clicking through 30 links, and then changing your search request when you find those 30 don't answer the question properly.. fighting through the ads etc. In theory it should be LESS time consuming, as it will just provide the skimmed information, plus you won't have to deal with video results most likely.

I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

Comment Ballot Stuffing? (Score 1) 142

I can see this being useful to detect if a foreign agent has changed a vote, or stopped a vote from counting.

What about votes that are made on behalf of dead people, or people who didn't know they voted, or just plain made up? If they don't know to check the qr code (for those living beings who just didn't vote), there is no real check.
