    making the feature rely less heavily on user-generated content from sites like Reddit

      No one could have seen this coming. Obviously LLMs absolutely completely understand the difference between people joking around with each other and authentic advice.

      Sarcasm aside, Reddit does have some good information about niche topics. There’s just currently no way for AI to understand the difference between dry humor and serious responses. I think the AI summaries are unhelpful anyway, but even if I didn’t it’s pretty obvious Google didn’t think further than “Shove AI into it like a drunken prom night encounter”.

        There’s no way for humans to do this either. We invented an entirely new series of markers (emoticons, /s, etc.) at a vain attempt at doing just this and still fail.
