Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI

Google has confirmed that its AI-generated news headlines in Google Discover are now a permanent feature, not an experiment. Despite claims of improved user satisfaction, these AI headlines have been criticized for being misleading and inaccurate, often misrepresenting the content they link to. Google maintains that these headlines are not rewrites of individual articles but rather AI-powered overviews of trending topics. However, this has raised concerns among news publishers about the potential impact on their ability to accurately market their journalism.
