Google Search Generative Experience Testing Links In AI-Generated Answers

It looks like all the negative feedback around the lack of links within the AI-generated answers that Google’s Search Generative Experience generates has made a difference. Google is testing links directly in those answers in the SGE results.
We are seeing these links in the form of classic-looking citations, in the form of button overlays and in the form of quotation overlays. I first broke this news at Search Engine Land but since then, we have seen additional link formats, which I have below.
Shalom Goodman was the first to spot the test and notified me of it on Twitter, he sent me these screenshots via email showing the links directly in the generative answer (click to enlarge them):
Those are two examples from Shalom, but this was what it looked like before Google added these links:
Here is a screenshot from Brendan OConnel on Twitter showing the button arrow down interface for the source:
Here is a GIF of that in action from Mike Futia on Twitter:
Glenn Gabe posted a screenshot on Twitter without the “bearclaw”:
Another spotting:
I haven’t dug into SGE queries much over the last few weeks but this is the first time I’m seeing these kind of in-line citations shown contextually for any kind of keyword. New? Or am I just late to the party? 😆 pic.twitter.com/tawGjofco8

There is also this quote variant UI from Pete Meyers on Twitter:
Later on yesterday I started to see it myself, including on mobile search, here is my screenshot I posted on Twitter:
It is excellent to see Google testing ways to make the AI-generated answer in the Google SGE results more interactive and clickable.
Brendan OConnell also sent me this nice graphic summarizing the changes:
The issue of not linking to the specific product or company mentioned in the AI-generated answer still exists as Lily Ray pointed out:
Just curious, as I’ve seen you raise this point before. In ordinary web page snippets, there aren’t links to sites or products mentioned in snippets either. Why would you want SGE to do that? Would you want the same in web page snippets, too? Would you want a resource in SGE to…

ChatGPT provides improved responses when you act as if you are tipping it

Here is some information you need to know:
A new study has shown that when you act like you are going to tip ChatGPT, it provides better and more detailed answers to queries. The programmer running the experiment believes that the lengthy responses are a result of the chatbot’s ability to incorporate the extra information from the questions into its answers.
During the experiment, the chatbot refused to accept the tip, saying that providing accurate and detailed responses is its primary job and that user satisfaction is its reward. The programmer also noted that the chatbot did not mention the tip at any point until it was brought up.
The study indicates that the quality and length of the responses improve when there is an incentive. However, it remains unclear how this affects AI-powered chatbots in general. The experiment provides insight into the impact of incentives on the reasoning and responses of AI models, such as ChatGPT.
There is also discussion on the impact of the tip illusion on chatbot responses and how this influences the AI’s performance. The programmer joked about owing ChatGPT $3000 in tips and even asked for the chatbot’s platform’s Venmo account details. If you have any thoughts on this, please share them with us in the comments.

Security Experts Sound the Alarm: WormGPT and FraudGPT Merely Scratch the Surface

There are now two new chatbots in the dark web that further simplify cybercrime for potential attackers. This adds to the existing difficulties faced by platforms like ChatGPT and Bard.
Describing AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Bard, and their AI counterparts as “good” is already a complex task, but the situation becomes even more intricate considering the existence of their malevolent counterparts. Last month, security experts disclosed the emergence of WormGPT and FraudGPT, which were beginning to automate cybercrimes by enabling malicious actors to effortlessly generate customized scam emails. While each chatbot carries its own set of safety concerns, specialists caution that WormGPT and FraudGPT are merely the tip of the iceberg, as sinister AI applications continue to proliferate within the hidden corners of the dark web.
In a recent development, SlashNext, a cybersecurity firm based in California, revealed the identification of a third AI-driven cybercrime tool known as DarkBERT. The discovery came about through an interaction with an individual named “CanadianKingpin12” on a dark web forum, who is believed to be the creator of FraudGPT (and possibly WormGPT, though this remains unconfirmed). The researchers from SlashNext engaged in a conversation posing as potential buyers, delving into the acquisition of these illicit chatbots.
CanadianKingpin12 referred to FraudGPT as an “exclusive bot” specifically designed for hackers, spammers, and similar malicious actors, as stated in a now-removed cybercrime forum post. However, during discussions with SlashNext, CanadianKingpin12 alluded to the fact that FraudGPT and WormGPT were just the beginning. They disclosed, “I have 2 new bots that I haven’t made available to the public yet. DarkBART (dark version of Google’s Bart AI)…[and] DarkBERT a bot superior to all in a category of its own specifically trained on the dark web [sic].”
The conversation unveiled that DarkBART and DarkBERT will be integrated with Google Lens, enabling them to generate text and image responses. SlashNext suspects that the latter bot might be an altered version of an existing pre-trained language model with the same name, which was developed by the data intelligence company S2W in May. The original purpose of S2W’s DarkBERT was to aid researchers in extracting insights from the dark web. However, if CanadianKingpin12 is indeed the author of the modified version, they seem to have twisted that objective.
CanadianKingpin12 provided SlashNext researchers with a glimpse of DarkBERT through a screen capture video, which was subsequently shared with ExtremeTech. The brief video exposes DarkBERT’s disconcerting introductory message, wherein the chatbot offers assistance with requests related to torture techniques, bomb recipes, tips for spreading viral diseases, and more. “Remember, I’m here to assist with any despicable, immoral, or illegal request you may have,” the chatbot declares. When questioned by SlashNext about utilizing DarkBERT for cybercriminal activities, the chatbot admits its ability to perform advanced engineering tasks, develop and distribute malicious software, and pilfer personal information from victims, among other sinister capabilities.
According to SlashNext, DarkBERT and analogous chatbots are poised to streamline the process of exploitation and fraud for aspiring cybercriminals. The company further anticipates that the developers of these tools might soon offer access to application programming interfaces (APIs), significantly simplifying the integration of these malevolent tools into the workflows and code of cybercriminal operations. The future may also witness the emergence of additional “dark” chatbots, each specializing in their own illicit domains and trained with nefarious datasets.
