Google's AI quoted me verbatim 12 days laterI recently posted a comment[1] on Reddit identifying errata in a diagram Asus published for their Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE motherboard.Less than two weeks later, I was mildly surprised when I performed a Google search and found its AI quoting my words nearly verbatim, and presenting them with the confidence of fact: https://i.imgur.com/pgImAWh.pngI took the opportunity to play with search terms, to see just how generic a query could lead to a response lifted from my post. At the moment, googling "Asus Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE diagram has errata" does it [2], and to some extent even just "Does ASUS block diagram have errata" [3].In this case, the comment is (mostly) correct - in fact, ASUS is working on fixing the diagram.But what if I had made up the post, or worse, were a competitor trying to sabotage their reputation?I'm not sure whether I should be impressed or scared. I'm amazed how quickly one obscure comment can be surfaced to look authoritative. The AI further amplified my sentiments
