Current takes a minimal approach to RSS. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. The RSS (Really Simple Syndication) protocol has been giving users a way to keep up with their favorite websites for decades. It essentially presents all the new articles on a specific site in chronological order as they're published, so you can read through or skip over them as you like.

Beyond mistakes or nonsense, deliberately bad information being injected into AI search summaries is leading people down potentially harmful paths. These days, rather than showing you the traditional list of links when you run a search query, Google is intent on throwing up AI Overviews instead: synthesized summaries of information scraped off the web, with some word-prediction magic added, and packaged together in a way to sound as accurate and reliable as possible. We've written before about some of the problems with these AI Overviews, which regularly contain mistakes or nonsense, and of course rip off the work of the human writers who actually know the answers to the questions you're putting into Google. There's another problem though--these AI answers can actually be dangerous. As with every other new technology through history, scams are now making their way into AI Overviews as well, apparently injecting Google's AI answers with fraudulent phone numbers that you shouldn't trust.

If Google keeps bothering you to pay for cloud storage, it's not just you.

DIY Tech Hacks How to really spot AI-generated images, with Google's help Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week.

However, that doesn't mean it's impossible to spot AI pictures: There are still signs to watch out for, checks you can make, and tools you can use to distinguish the genuine from the synthetic. As is the case with AI-generated video, you don't have to give up just yet.
