      Update 9/21/2023: Google says it has removed the AI-generated selfie from Knowledge Graph and Knowledge Panels, where it was appearing, after 404 Media reached out for comment and first published this story.

        Ok. Fair enough. I don’t hold anything against 404 media. But OP should have checked that information before posting. Especially since it is very easy to see that’s not the case currently. The title implies currently it is that photo. It is not

          OP shouldn’t have changed the title from the original in the article.

          OP should have just posted the article.

          Regardless, it’s a very direct way of rewriting history someone was attempting. It’s good it got caught and called out.

        why does it seem like a fake attempt at clickbait

        • make a fake story with a controversial topic, no one else can verify

        • mark it fixed a day later

        • profit

        “Google’s first result shows Trump won the 2020 election”

        in the article:

        update: Google has removed the content

        Easy traffic

      Search results are usually unique to each user. If you can’t be fingerprinted by Google (rare, you’ll get a CAPTCHA if so), then it will be unique to your geography.

      So there’s no way you can verify their claim that it was the first result.
