Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History (www.404media.co)

The first thing people saw when they searched Google for the artist Hieronymus Bosch was an AI-generated version of his Garden of Earthly Delights, one of the most famous paintings in art history.

Depending on what they are searching for, Google Search sometimes serves users a series of images above the list of links they usually see in results. As first spotted by a user on Twitter, when people searched for “Hieronymus Bosch” on Google, it included a couple of images from the real painting, but the first and largest image they saw was an AI-generated version of it.

As a Yahoo! employee at that time, this is simply not true. The links don’t provide any info on how he wrecked Yahoo! Search. It sounds like someone is trying to pin Google’s search downfall on him, and made a wild assumption about Yahoo!.
