My favourite (inconsequential, but incredibly stupid) automatic AI question/answer from Google :

I was looking for German playwright Brecht's first name. The answer was Bertolt. It's a pretty simple question, so that at least was correct.

However, among the initial "frequently asked questions", one was "What is the name of the Armored Titan?"

Somehow Google decided it would randomly answer a question about manga/anime Attack on Titan in there. The only link between that question and my query is the answer, Bertolt (so of course, it wasn't in my query). Because there's a guy called Bertolt too in that story.

By the way, Attack on Titan's Bertolt is not the armoured titan.

None. It's made with the clear intention of substituting itself to actual search results.

If you don't fact-check it, it's dangerous and/or a thinly disguised ad. If you do fact-check it, it brings absolutely nothing that you couldn't find on your own.

Well, except hallucinations, of course.

I am seeing more and more people trusting that "zero-click search" result without looking for any kind of source or discussion around their information. Honestly, it's scary.

I mean, if a colony was crazy enough to look that fabulous on the rim, I would probably think twice before raiding them.

"Eleven times in all caps" is going to be my mental image for vibe coders for a very long time. It sounds too stupid to be real, but, I want to believe.

... What about the Namco part?

Ridge Racer? Soulcalibur? Tekken? Tales of Whatever? Freaking PAC-MAN?

"Elden Ring publisher". This is a weird way to describe Bandai Namco.

Especially in relation to Sony that already owns 14% of From Software and 10% of Kadokawa (who owns most of From Software).

They're a conversation piece.

Not all conversations are worth having though.

I am pretty sure the "every game doesn't need something new" era had already started in the mid-80s. And new mechanics, and new takes on old ones, still happen.

The guy is in old man mode.

That works too.

Yeah, well as I see it Meta needs EU a lot more than EU needs Meta. Adapt or GTFO.

They're houseplants, and they're telling each other horror stories around an (unlit?) campfire.
