AI images take over Google Image results, users complain


Users are frustrated as AI-generated images fill Google search results, raising concerns about accuracy and the spread of misinformation.

While major AI companies are working on better ways to mark AI-generated images, these markers may go unnoticed by users who are quickly scrolling through search results. Some users have suggested that one way to avoid this confusion is to customize Google image searches to exclude results from before 2022, when generative AI became popular.
