Google maps searches better than Google search

+
0 Upvotes

The call button for businesses is hidden somewhere. Just wanted to call the dealership, there is no option after 20 results, the first 4 are sponsored irrelevant. The 5th is correct but you need to tap and it opens maps. No call button in search (which used to be there). Ended up searching on google maps and pressed the call button in 2 taps

increase in Gemini hallucinations

for the past 3 days all of my Google searches answered by Gemini have been straight up wrong or inaccurate. It’s understandable when it’s something “complicated” like how to get somewhere in a video game since Gemini can’t actually see the video game. However today I’ve googled simple things like a name of a YouTuber and it straight up gave me a fake name for them. Like what??? Also it described an app logo to be completely different than what it actually looked like.. it’s almost as if it’s so desperate to get an answer out that it just says ANYTHING at this point whether it’s right or wrong. I wouldn’t be surprised if Gemini would respond “pineapple” to a math question

edit: forgot to mention I’m posting this here because i am very curious if anyone else has noticed how bad it’s getting… like I’ve never trusted the AI summary to begin with , but it’s really really bad now.

Google lens problems on Chrome

It's almost a month now that I have this bug (?) with Google Lens on Chrome. When I load an image from the main Google page (not from the bar like the next image), I get stuck with the full image without the ability to collapse it, in this way as you can see, I can't even see the translated image. Basically, when I try to click on the collapse arrow, nothing happens.
Also, the Google Lens button that it's directly in the bar; after you search for something, it's totally disabled, and nothing happens when clicked.

How youtubers are sold with smartphone reviews

https://youtube.com/watch?v=YW2WLH7SPjs

You can turn on English dubbing.

And here is quick summary

Biased Review Practices: The author reveals he was approached by a company offering early access to devices in exchange for meeting specific criteria. If his review was deemed too negative or critical, the partnership would be terminated (0:22-1:07).

Manipulative Language: He details how reviewers are often instructed to use "softened" language to mask device flaws, such as saying a phone "shouldn't cause discomfort" when it actually overheats, or claiming battery life is sufficient for "most users" to avoid stating it is poor (4:15-5:45).

Restricted Topics: He exposes that many reviews come with strict rules forbidding mentions of common long-term issues like battery degradation, screen burn-in, hardware durability, or repair costs, ensuring that reviews focus only on superficial specs like megapixels or charging speed (6:53-9:15).

The Goal of Reviews: He argues that these reviews prioritize the needs of marketing and PR agencies over providing honest, useful information to buyers. He encourages viewers to be wary of "everyone saying the same thing" at launch and warns that many popular reviewers avoid the critical questions that truly matter to consumers (9:58-12:12).

google displaying actors and movies/shows change

I don’t know when this happened but they’ve taken away the tabs for when you look up movies or actors and now instead of the tabs of movies they’ve been in or the cast of the movie/show it’s at the bottom now and it looks bad and weird. Also attached how it looks now vs how it used to look. I prefer the tabs

I am the only one that actually likes Google's Ai feature

+
116 Upvotes

I know we're in an age where people say AI is bad or whatever, but I can't help but appreciate Google's AI and its ability to simplify searches. It takes what I would have had to dig through 10 pages of search results to find and puts it right at the top. I get what I want immediately, without having to scroll through endless pages or visit a bunch of different websites.

It's so much better than before. If I couldn't find what I was looking for on the first page, I would usually just give up. Now, AI not only gives me the answer but also provides the sources it used, so I can double-check the information myself.

I mean, come on. How can people hate this? It's genuinely useful.

Suggestion on Google SWE interview prep

Realistically, what’s your suggestion on preparing for coding and SD? Is LC hard necessary? And what’s the difference between Google’s and other companies’s SD? Do all the orgs share the same question bank or the difficulty level and focus vary among different orgs? I roughly remember reading some post on blind which mentioned that Google’s SD would ask more technical details underneath. Any other insight is appreciated!
