Nice. Now, Google will probably just disable AI overview in germany cause they know they can’t make it not spew made up crap. The hope’s on more countries following suit on this.

Correct and common sense ruling. The tech broligarchs can’t buy the judiciary in other countries like they do here in the US.

As it should. If Google is factually responsible for the resulting slop and should be legally responsible for it.

Wow that makes so much sense it’s crazy.

I should do a bunch of google searches about myself and see if I can get its AI to say anything defamatory about me…

“because it alone has influence over the AI’s offering and the algorithms with which the AI operates.”

Okay so anything someone generates with the AI is owned by the company?

Well, I’m afraid that, unfortunately, this ruling will ultimately never be enforced, as it would make it impossible for the powerful multibillion-dollar corporations to operate this business.

Another example of just how influential these corporations are is the fact that the most profitable piracy operation in history is even possible. Gigantic corporations of major influence have already filed multiple lawsuits over blatant intellectual property theft—yet even these players clearly stood no chance against the concentrated capital that is preventing the AI bubble from bursting immediately.

Therefore: It is the right decision, but it will almost certainly remain without consequence.

Tja.
