A court in Munich declared that Google is liable for their "AI summaries" and all its hallucinations. This is an important step to bring "AI" slop in line with all other products on the market: "AI" products are basically the only ones where a provider can just deliver unchecked garbage and put all the liability on the consumer. I hope to see aggressive change here.
@tante This is the kind of thing I couldn't have come up with, because I would never have considered what the LLM is spitting out to be Google's words.
Guess there is no real way out. They get what they wanted and I isn't legally theft (however incompetent)... but now it's their words so guess they are responsible.
Look forward to how they try to fight this one. Sorry it's not our words, we actually stole the entirety of human creation.

They could flag it as comedy or satire@iamlayer8 @tante "Google AI Overview is for Entertainment Purposes Only" just like ... was it copilot that had this in the terms of use or whatever?

Google's defence needs to be amplified by anyone talking to politicians about 'AI' regulation:
Google is explicitly saying in their legal filing that the outputs from their LLM should not be trusted and that users should know that.
That's one hell of an admission. Imagine saying that about any other category of product.

iirc, Google said that earlier about their search results, also.

@david_chisnall @tante this is also known as the Fox “News” defense for those in the US

@lobingera
Slightly different. "search results you see may not be the most relevant for your query" is very different to "We're providing actual information which has a reasonably likelihood of being wrong, and potentially dangerously wrong".

What's the difference between an LLM and a pack of cigarettes?
They both fill the room with smoke that will eventually kill someone. But cigarettes come with a warning.

@david_chisnall @tante Remember when Intel released a chip with a built in floating point math error that happened one nine-billionth of the time?

@david_chisnall @tante Don't forget that Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, too.

I know a few people who won´t like this admission from Google: "the outputs from their LLM should not be trusted and users should know that" !!
Will OpenAI e.a. admit the same thing?

Indeed no other industry or product could get away with that ... - let us just hope that this court's view is upheld through future instances

I remember Microsoft successfully lobbying to keep known faulty behavior like handling the year 1900 as a leap year in the OOXML standard.So that idea is not that far off for me.

Excellent verdict, actions have consequences…

Hallucinations aren't Google's fault, and they can't just fix them. It's a property of AI. So just don't use it for topics you don't understand. And frankly, I don't know anyone who still uses Google. Even my mom uses DuckDuckGo.
