News Summary: Tim Ferriss Warns AI Is Killing Nonfiction Sales; Substack Launches Creator Sponsorship Program
Before I get to Substack, I'll start with another story signposted by Jane Friedman this week. Be patient, it's relevant. Tim Ferriss is one of those "public thinkers" most of us will know from somewhere, whether that's the game-changing and hugely successful book The 4-Hour Workweek (and subsequent "Four Hour" titles) whose wisdoms many of us have spent so many more than four hours a week trying to implement in our lives, or his equally influential productivity and lifestyle podcast. If anyone is going to make a success of self-help writing, it's Tim.

Whoa! This could become a BIG deal .....
German court ruled Google Is liable for false statements generated by AI overviews presented in AI powered search results.
The ruling indicates that when an AI generates new statements that do not appear directly in its original sources, the company that designs, trains, operates, and manages the system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by those statements.
Further the Court held, correcting misinformation is not the responsibility of third parties. Google is the only entity with the ability to modify the technology underpinning its AI-generated summaries and, therefore, “must be held accountable.”

For the record, I'm still going to talk about Answer Engine Optimization because there ARE answer engines out there. They use search engines (as I've been saying all along) but the first step in #AEO is to be indexed and ranking well enough in the search engines that the answer engines are using, such that they'll use your content.
Publishers have to face reality. The LLMs are trained on SOME of your content, yes, but they're getting your content for their answers from the search engines. If you want to be found in Web search, you have to be indexed in the search engines. If you want to be found in AI summaries or AI chats, you have to be indexed in the search engines.
And if you don't want to play in that sandbox, you still have social media, video platforms, and advertising to work with.

Your AI chatbot - no matter how well-trained - is NOT "a domain expert" or some kind of profession no matter how you word your prompts . It's an application that searches the Web and spits back probabilistically amalgamated summaries of whatever it found in the search results that seem to match your questions.

The Large Language Models are not retrieving information from the Web. They are submitting queries to the search engines. If the search results contain bad results the LLMs =MAY= ignore those bad results or they =MAY= include them in their summaries. That's not "hallucination". And if the results change because you use a different LLM or revise YOUR query, again, that's not the LLM being ignorant or hallucinating - that's just the LLM summarizing the results it was given by the search engine.
Most of the problems with AI Overviews are coming from the search results because Google has the largest index of all the major search engines and it's very tolerant of multiple points of view.

Hold the presses! Or rather, let AI summarize them. iOS 26 is reportedly reintroducing AI summaries to news apps, but with a cautious nod this time. They pulled these earlier, so what's changed? What's your confidence level in AI-generated news snippets? #Apple #iOS26 #AISummaries #TechNews

Google Says That More Quality Clicks Are Coming From AI Overviews To Sites
Source: https://blog.google/products/search/ai-search-driving-more-queries-higher-quality-clicks
Sure, Google. Of course they’re going to say this. Do I click on the source links? More than average people, but I’m not sure average person would.
Do I think that if you want to read more you might click the citations? Sure. But, often if your question is answered in the summary, why would you keep clicking through.
This is a major issue for publishers, because people aren’t coming to their site and seeing the ads. They might not be paying for the paywall. Or any number of things a visitor could do on the source site.
What do you think? Is Google full of malarkey? Fully? Partially? Not at all?
Mike Elgan has a great teardown of Google’s post here: https://machinesociety.ai/p/googles-dishonest-and-insulting-ai
Let me know!

Attention LLM security enthusiasts! Google's Bug Hunters posted a detailed run through on protecting Large Language Models that goes beyond basic prompt injection:
It covers:
• Advanced prompt injection techniques
• Data poisoning strategies
• Model extraction methods
• Adversarial examples in the wildThis showcases how attackers are getting craftier, attempting to bypass ethical constraints while maintaining the illusion of authority.
But that's just the beginning. The post delves into the complexities of each attack vector and discusses potential mitigation strategies.
For those of us pushing the boundaries of AI security, this is a must-read. It might just change how you approach LLM vulnerabilities.
Check it out and let's discuss: What new insights did you gain from this analysis?"
