Apparently new in Blogger, a round, pale-blue button that will "automatically insert google search links" into the text you are writing in the Blogger Editor.
Sounds like the generation of garbage, to me. But then, that's probably what Google thinks I'm doing, generating garbage.
The first time I tried it, it added this link to my words "round, pale blue button" -- a Google Images page showing... well, you can guess.
Blogger Help from vinay sati says
-
This is a new Blogger beta feature, not part of AdSense.
-
Blogger scans your post content and automatically turns certain keywords/phrases into links pointing to a Google Search results page.
-
The purpose is to give readers more context if they want to explore related topics.
Well, a page full of images of pale blue buttons is not "context" for what I had written. So that's an AI failure, far as I'm concerned.
vinay sati also says
-
The feature is optional and currently in beta.
-
It will not apply by default unless you choose to enable it in your Blogger dashboard under “Try new beta features.”
-
If you test it and don’t like it, you can simply disable it again from the same menu.
First, I didn't know what the Blogger "dashboard" is, so I had to google that. Yeah, I use it all the time, but I didn't know it was called "dashboard".
Second, apparently it DOES apply by default, as there it is on my screen, ready and waiting for me to accidentally brush up against it.
Third, maybe I could disable the thing, and hide it, if the dashboard had a "Try new beta features" section.
But thanks, vinay, for trying.
Anyway, now I've wasted an hour or more of my Dwindling Time Remaining.
