Summary: Plagiarism Engine: Google’s Content-Swiping AI Could Break the Internet

Instead of highlighting links to content from expert humans, the “Search Generative Experience” (SGE) uses an AI plagiarism engine that grabs facts and snippets of text from a variety of sites, cobbles them together (often word-for-word) and passes off the work as its creation.

Many people I have talked to about and shown Google SGE can’t believe that the company would roll such a dangerous, poor-quality and web-breaking experience out to everyone.

If Google follows a similar timeline, it could go from being a search engine to a zero-click, plagiarism engine by this fall.

When I asked Google about the fact that its SGE answers are frequently word-for-word copies drawn from the related links articles, the company said that it picks those links because they “corroborate” the responses.

If it rolls the current SGE experience out, Google would be leveraging its monopoly position to push its own content over and above everyone else’s.
