A google search screen with a search for "test" The first result is Speedtest by Ookla. Then comes the "AI overview, which looks like a "definition" including the word, a pronunciation guide, and an audio button for the pronunciation. But then, it shows the "definition' and it says "It looks like your test was successful! I am online, awake, and ready to help. How can I assist you with your day?" where "online, awake, and ready to help" are highlighted like they're relevant to my search...

The same image from above with Mordo saying "The bill comes due. Always" but now with the Bluesky interface giving a "descriptive alt text" that says "a man is holding a gun and says the bill comes due . always ." (with weird spacing around the paragraphs). There is no gun in the tiny headshot area of Mordo. His staff is strapped to his back and we see about half an inch of it in the photo... but it looks nothing like a gun. We also can't even see his hands, so how is the description "holding a gun"? These are the tough questions

A YouTube Shorts page showing 3 shorts, but the one that's in the center and featured says "Authentication vs. Authorization - What's ..."
"Build with an AI Agent" it says with a text box and lots of options... except there's no option to not show it.
So many keys, pads and rods

A riff with the red circle having an inner circle with an inner shadow to make it look a LITTLE like a Connect4 piece
My riff. It says "Connect More" with the "More" in a red circle and above it, it says "When We Play, We" Making the complete statement "When We Play, We Connect More"... the "More" in the red circle looks awkward...

A google result for a JS array method with AI suggestions at the top. Then Bryan re-activates the User CSS and Javascript extension and refreshes the page. For a moment, the AI "generation" animation starts, and then disappears from view. Yarrharrharr

Google AI overview that says "Some say that the term Jamstack has become meaningless because it's been used to describe a marketing term for Netlify services. Netlify published a new definition of Jamstack in 2023 that focused on "flexibility, scalability, performance, and maintainability". " (amongst other things) and links to my blog post and Salma's as proof... despite the fact that both of us say that the Jamstack is alive, should be alive, and CAN have meaning in the articles We both talk about the issues of that in our articles and I even say it's "meaningless" but there's a TON of nuance that's ignored
