Google isn’t making it easy to opt out of the AI revolution,
and not everyone is thrilled about it.
AI search overviews have proven to hallucinate about as much as any other AI chatbot—which is a lot.
One viral example showed Google Gemini recommending you drink “two quarts of urine every 24 hours” to pass a kidney stone
(don’t do that).
Sadly, if you don’t want gems like this, there’s no easy button to just return to classic Google Search.

From Protoscience to Epistemic Monoculture: How Benchmarking Set the Stage for the Deep Learning Revolution
Over the past decade, AI research has focused heavily on building ever-larger deep learning models. This approach has simultaneously unlocked incredible achievements in science and technology, and hindered AI from overcoming long-standing limitations with respect to explainability, ethical harms, and environmental efficiency. Drawing on qualitative interviews and computational analyses, our three-part history of AI research traces the creation of this "epistemic monoculture" back to a radical r…

Big AI Models for 6G Wireless Networks: Opportunities, Challenges, and Research Directions
Recently, big artificial intelligence models (BAIMs) represented by chatGPT have brought an incredible revolution. With the pre-trained BAIMs in certain fields, numerous downstream tasks can be accomplished with only few-shot or even zero-shot learning and exhibit state-of-the-art performances. As widely envisioned, the big AI models are to rapidly penetrate into major intelligent services and applications, and are able to run at low unit cost and high flexibility. In 6G wireless networks, to f…

Embracing the Generative AI Revolution: Advancing Tertiary Education in Cybersecurity with GPT
The rapid advancement of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models such as ChatGPT, has the potential to significantly impact cybersecurity. In this study, we investigated the impact of GPTs, specifically ChatGPT, on tertiary education in cybersecurity, and provided recommendations for universities to adapt their curricula to meet the evolving needs of the industry. Our research highlighted the importance of understanding …
