Behind the Blog: What Is Real?
www.404media.co
This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss weird fake furniture and shared reality (or the lack thereof).SAM: It has been such a busy week I forgot its Friday until I woke up this morning, so Ill be brief with a quick couple of thoughts about Googles AI Overview, which I wrote about serving bizarre results that suggested people pass a Magic Wand vibrator to a child like a talking stick for counseling purposes.Emanuel found the thread on Reddit where someone posted a screenshot of the result they got with the search term magic wand pregnancy. He was getting the same result as that person; I assume both he and OP were doing a lot of Googling about pregnancy related topics, as Emanuels wife just had a kid and this person was clearly looking for answers about what sorts of buzz buzz were safe to throw down with while pregnant. When I searched with the same term, I didnt get that answer, and couldnt replicate it. I could get the other one mentioned in the storysearching what is a magic wand showed me an AI Overview result about magicians small sticks (ouch) but not the pregnancy one. I assumed, and mentioned in the story, that this is because of the aforementioned Googling about babies; Google personalizes search based on activity, and parents are a valuable market for advertisers.
