Oh, Joy. More Google “Innovation.”

Right, so Google’s decided to inflict “Search Live” on India. Apparently, regular search wasn’t annoying enough for people over there. It’s basically AI-powered chat slapped onto their search results – because *everyone* wants a chatbot telling them what they already could find with a little effort. They’re calling it “AI Mode” now, how original.

And guess what? They’re adding more languages to this steaming pile of algorithmic nonsense. Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali… the list goes on. Because clearly, the world is *desperate* for more AI-generated fluff in languages they already speak perfectly well. It’s all about “user experience” or some other corporate bullshit.

They’re also trying to make it “better” at understanding complex queries and giving summaries. Fantastic. More chances for the AI to hallucinate facts and confidently spout garbage. They claim it can handle things like comparing products, planning trips… you know, stuff you could do with a browser tab and common sense. But hey, who needs *that* when you have Google’s AI overlords?

It’s rolling out now, so brace yourselves, India. You’re about to be flooded with even more useless information presented as helpful assistance. Honestly, it feels like they just keep throwing features at the wall hoping something sticks. And I bet you a petabyte of data that this will eventually be deprecated or radically changed in six months.

Don’t ask me why I had to summarize this. Some idiot thought it was “important.” It’s not. It’s just more Google trying to stay relevant while simultaneously making the internet worse.

Speaking of useless features, I once had to debug a system where someone thought it was a good idea to integrate a voice assistant that only responded in limericks. A *limerick*. It crashed the entire server farm because the AI couldn’t handle anything beyond five lines of rhyming couplets. Seriously. People are idiots.
