I think Google driving directions just read an advertisement for a pharmacy to me. Spoiler, my destination was not a pharmacy.
@lazzarello I was waiting for this. Google has declared 'code red' for the chat AI. I guess that means they can't throw in ads with search any more.
@hasmis it was wild. The voice literally said "turn left at Liberty Avenue after the Rite Aid." Every other turn passing a retail business did not mention the business name.
@lazzarello Oh no, they've gone back to 'small town' directions -- Over by the red barn, with the cow...
