    @SteveRudolfi I read it and I’m not sure I understand: can they do this to ANY website? like a .gov website as well as Aunt May’s “mycutegrandkids.com” website?

    imagine the Mayo Clinic’s site being taken over and re-assembled with whatever google thinks you wanted to find for medical advice…..

      Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website

      "...a system that evaluates your company’s landing page in real time and, if it decides the page won’t perform well enough for a specific user, replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built, they see what Google's machine learning model thinks they should see instead."

        @grammasaurus : if I understand the patent correctly, the content seen by a user in their browser will not for 100% originate from your website given its domain name.

        However, Google may let their Chrome browser show your domain name in the address bar and even suggest that a server-authenticated and encrypted valid https connection is being used (proving the authenticity of your website, which is then fully broken).

        Google may even force other browser makers (such as Mozilla, sponsored by Google) to do the same.

            I wholly disagree with the conclusion at the end of this article. This is something that should be vigorously avoided.

                      @SteveRudolfi I am choosing to look on the bright side of this: it’s an excellent reason to stop using Google as a search engine.

                        @SteveRudolfi Sounds like they want to compete with https://web.archive.org but instead of archiving actual content, they want to rewrite history. Sounds like a bad idea.

                            @SteveRudolfi I hate that last line "The question isn’t how to stop this from happening, it’s how to make sure your parts are the ones AI wants to work with."

                            Like nah bro, I'm good. I don't want to just lay down and let this bullshit take over without a fight.

                              @dijumx @grammasaurus @ErikvanStraten @SteveRudolfi on its face it sounds like an unauthorized derivative work, which might have been actionable before the courts ruled that using LLMs for copyright laundering is legal. I hope the other actions are still viable

                                @SteveRudolfi "The question isn’t how to stop this from happening, it’s how to make sure your parts are the ones AI wants to work with." and this is where I was reminded I was reading from Forbes, spineless plutocrats' sycophants that they are.

                                  @SteveRudolfi if we thought that with WordPress all websites looked the same, imagine with this.

                                    FYI, this article misstates how a #patent works :

                                    "This isn’t a feature announcement, it’s a patent, meaning Google has legally protected the ability to do this."

                                    A patent holder may arguably prohibit others from using that patent.

                                    🚫 However, a patent holder must still follow any laws and regulations when using that patent. A patent is not permission to break laws / contracts / etc.

                                      @SteveRudolfi I read it and I’m not sure I understand: can they do this to ANY website? like a .gov website as well as Aunt May’s “mycutegrandkids.com” website?

                                      imagine the Mayo Clinic’s site being taken over and re-assembled with whatever google thinks you wanted to find for medical advice…..

                                      No, a patent holder must still follow the law.
