Google said it takes swift actions against violations of its policies ​for AI Overviews.

LOL Hasn't it just been proven right here in this case that the opposite is true?

If I have read the verdict properly, even after being officially noticed and legally requested to stop the offending statements, the company did not react at all and the AI repeated it's crap.

"Swift" is a meaningless PR term. If they release a slightly less buggy updated Gemini 9 months later they can call it "rapid innovation" or whatever.

But they cannot choose their own arbitrary waiting time when legal actions are already ongoing.

They're a trillion dollar company, they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as the penalty remains fines.

They're a trillion dollar company, they can do whatever the fuck they want as long as the penalty remains fines.

This was one verdict, and from now on they can be fined up to 250k for every time when their AI writes this offensive statement, provoked or not. Note: not every day, but every single time it happens somewhere.

If they don't do anything about it, then there might come more such verdicts about other similarly offensive statements, and then imagine some people provoke them all repeatedly, systematically...

Can they still ignore them all and do nothing as long as the fuck they want?? ;-)
