  • Google is testing AI summaries for articles in the Discover feed.
  • Like AI overviews in Google Search, Discover feed summaries combine information from multiple sources instead of just referencing one.
  • Google is also testing a new button to bookmark articles that can be revisited later.

Is there an ai feature that anyone asked for?

This is what happens when management decides your performance is based on AI use.

As I keep saying, if AI makes people more productive, you don’t have to force them to use it.

Exactly this. Some dumbass spent all their money on crap nobody wants or is willing to pay for, so now we have a management team, with delusions of adequacy, trying to prove to shareholders that they didn't just piss away all their money.

Think of the shareholders!

I am. I am thinking of them having other things to waste their money on, or falling down and hurting their ankles.

It's already got ai summaries of the news articles that show up there for me and I'm about to disable it just because of that.

Also, I don't want the trending BS.
