Google is updating its AI Search features to make it easier for users to find information from sources they know and trust.
Lol “Reddit, but with extra steps” is painfully accurate — are they actually going to show the subreddit name and the post date in the summary so you can tell if it’s a 2016 hot take or something current? not sure on that part yet.
If they don’t surface the post date (and ideally whether it was edited), this is going to be a mess. Half of Reddit “answers” are correct for one app version and dead wrong six months later.
Yeah this is my fear too — reddit is basically “works on my machine” but for time. if they don’t show the date + app/version context next to the quote, people are gonna get confidently misled by a 2019 comment forever.
Yep — without a visible date and “this was for iOS 12 / Photoshop 2020 / whatever” context, it’s just laundering old advice into something that looks current. Reddit threads age like milk, and the upvotes don’t tell you what’s changed since.
