    Asked Google assistant today what the withdrawal symptoms of Adderall were… got told the suicide prevention hotline. So, that was fun.

      To be fair, any drug of abuse potential will usually trigger SAMSHA links in the US by law. That might have been what you saw, and it’s been that way for at least a decade.

      That’s… Less than helpful.

      (Also, I can try to field this one for you: headaches, fatigue, mental fogginess, sometimes temporary depressed mood or irritability, maybe increased appetite?)

    “nope”, but it’s a 100-word excerpt from Reddit that pops in just as you’re about to click a link and shifts everything down.

    I’m in Finland so I can only give a sad forlorn look toward Italy and say “First time?”

    Anyway.

    Now:

    Me: “What’s the weather like today?”

    Computer: “It’ll be 25°C or so.”

    Me: “How do you know that?”

    Computer: “I looked up your location and queried the national weather service.”

    Soon:

    Me: “What’s the weather like today?”

    Computer: “It’ll be 25°C or so.”

    Me: “How do you know that?”

    Computer: “Fuck if I know. I’ve just learned that is a thing that people apparently say in situations like this.”

    It’s worse than broken - every time you use google you encourage them, financially, to make it worse. Stock market capitalism. stop doing it.

    I did just ask this question of Google assistant and it worked fine. I asked it about rings as well and it explained the composition of rings and pointed to Saturn as the primary example. I definitely think there has been a degradation in service, but the examples given here actually perform just fine.

  • @son_named_bort@lemmy.world

    Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have rings, so the search from 2 years ago was also inaccurate.

      If I ask for “planet with rings” and my first result is Saturn, I consider the search functional.

      If my first result is an ad for planet fitness, I do not.
