As it should. If it’s a product, then it’s Google’s faulty product. If they try to pull some shit that AI has agency, personhood or is a legal individual then they should slap google on the account of the applicable slave labor law.
It is the company’s own content. They are running the LLM and the LLM is just a tool with no responsibility on its own. If the tool is unreliable that is Google’s problem.

It really was dumb of them to put it at the top of their search results.
Stupid on its face. The whole compromise was that search engines were just indexes and so not necissarily responsible for what they link users too (within limits), and websites encourage their bot because it sends them traffic.
Then they blow that all up with a “summary” no one asked for.
As it should.
AI hits German libel laws or whatever, time to get the popcorn.
These rulings are incompatible with global capital. They will not stand.
In the US maybe…
