The Annoying Ploys of AI Searches !

[Joe Riley]

I typed in google search:
"The "ignore" button on online platforms functions like a personal ban button with a very narrow focus."
AI Overview replied:
"Yes, that's a good way to describe it. The "ignore" button on online platforms functions like a personal ban button with a very narrow focus."

Here's why:
"Personal Ban: When you ignore a user, you are essentially "banning" their content from your personal view. This is different from a platform-wide ban, which would prevent the user from accessing the platform altogether."

"Narrow Focus: The "ban" is limited to your personal interaction with the user. The ignored user is not notified of being ignored and can still interact with other users and the platform itself. "

Do you use AI Overview very much? How do you like Copilot?

What do you mean by “AI Overview”, @Joe Riley ? Is there a program named that, or are you just using the term in general for asking some AI a question ?
I have Co-Pilot that comes with my Bing search engine, and i really like using Copilot to answer questions and explain things for me.
It remembers what you have asked about before, and if it relates to the new question, then it will also bring information about that into the new answer response.

I like it much better than just using a search engine when I just want basic answers, but if I am looking for something specific or about some specific person,, then I use the search engine usually.
The other day, I was trying to decide whether to get parsley or cilantro to add to my salad, so I asked copilot what the nutrients were for both of them and to do a comparison, and the answer was just what i was looking for. (It turned out to be parsley)

Q:
Johnny Cash song by AI...is it legal?

A:
AI Overview:

It appears you're asking about the legality of using AI to create or replicate Johnny Cash's voice, particularly in music.

The Legality is Questionable and Complex:
While AI can be used to generate voices, including those resembling famous figures like Johnny Cash, the legality is not straightforward and depends heavily on the context and location of use.
Here's a breakdown of the legal aspects:

• Right of Publicity: This is a crucial legal concept that comes into play. It prevents the unauthorized commercial use of someone's identity, which can include their likeness and voice. This is especially relevant for celebrities and public figures.
• Estate Rights: Even after someone's passing, their estate often holds rights to their name, image, likeness, and voice. Using an AI-generated voice that imitates Johnny Cash without permission from his estate could lead to legal action.
• Evolving Legal Landscape: The legal framework surrounding AI-generated voices is still developing. However, some states, like Tennessee with the ELVIS Act, have specifically addressed AI voice cloning and its unauthorized use. California has also passed legislation requiring consent for using digital replicas of deceased individuals.
• Commercial vs. Non-Commercial Use: Using an AI-generated Johnny Cash voice for commercial purposes, like advertising or selling music, is more likely to trigger legal issues related to the right of publicity.
• Fair Use and Parody: While Fair Use is sometimes considered, it's rarely a guaranteed protection for AI-generated voices. Parody might be an exception in some cases, but the realism of the voice replica can still pose problems.

In summary, using an AI-generated Johnny Cash voice without authorization is likely illegal and carries significant risks of legal action, especially if used commercially. Always obtain proper consent or license before using AI to replicate someone's voice, particularly when dealing with famous individuals.

I’m not a fan of their new ai overviews system. There’s a way to deactivate it though. I prefer the old google search option.

I haven’t tried copilot yet.

Sometimes AI confuses itself. Or am I missing something obvious?
