I want to write a review about some very bad advice I received from Google AI. (This is not an isolated incident but my detail gives you the opportunity to evaluate my experience yourself) Obviously we are all starting to realise that AI in many cases means some kind of AVERAGE or MEDIAN or MODE of opinions expressed on the internet and that these… Read more
averages are highly susceptible to … “commercial interests.” So over Easter 2026 I went on holiday and placed my cat in a cattery and after we came back we discovered our cat had bought fleas home with her. One of the major lessons I learned from this experience is to regularly treat my cat for fleas regardless of whether we experience fleas in our home AND that I need to regularly change our brand of flea treatment treatment regardless of whether we see fleas in our home. So as my cat had been treated for fleas the night before she went into the cattery, and she was only away for one week, I could not retreat her for three weeks, and because flea bombs are incredibly toxic to cats, I decided to first attack the fleas issue with simple flyspray. I had a “low toxic” one. I grew up with Mum spraying flyspray over us both when we went to bed and whilst we were playing. I thought flyspray was benign. But I later found out from Google that not only is flyspray incredibly toxic to cats but the instructions for use are to first remove everyone from the room, then spray for 3-5 seconds, then wait for 15 mins, then let everyone back in the room … wow, I’ve never done that! So when treatment with flyspray failed - both my cat and I were still being severely bitten, but not my partner … we moved onto flea bombs bought from Bunnings. Flea bombs are huge doses of fly spray. Over the next few weeks I used about twelve. I was still being bitten, my cat was still scratching so it appeared there were still adult fleas around. But I began to be very worried about the toxic load in the household for my cat. I started looking on online chat rooms who gave me the advice that flea infestations often take three months or more to conquer … wow! I’ve owned cats all my life and in the past I’ve used two flea bombs and that's fixed the issue. Online I was being told that fleas were now becoming resistant to treatment and extreme measures were required. One emphasised strategy was to vacuum daily. I got my carpets snd upholstery shampooed. We bought a new Dyson. And I found a special flea spray that was non toxic to cats - you know how we all used to put treated cat collars on our cats to combat fleas - well it was that chemical in a spray … Google is by the way was directing and shepherding all of these purchases … this treatment could be sprayed relatively freely but when you vacuumed it had to be reapplied. Again I think I used about twelve cans … Then, as rats can bring fleas into the home and mites, and we did have a rat … I began looking at treatment for mites and I got a rat catcher in. I was still being bitten but the bites were different - it seemed more like a rash. I was mainly being bitten on the couch and in bed so we bought a special mattress and upholstery vacuum cleaner which had a special uv light to kill mites. Yes I know but I was actually going a bit mad at this stage - please do look at some of the Reddit posts on this subject to understand the extreme distress people feel when inundated with fleas. And then one night I was Googling solutions and Google told me I had poisoned myself, I had poisoned my household I had to move out to stay in a hotel immediately, I had to go to the emergency department, I had to call the poisons hotline, I had to shower in cold water and change my clothes straight away … and at that point I finally realised that Google didn’t actually have any meaningful advice, and the advice it was offering was quite hysterical. In fact most of its advice was to be scared and to buy something. So I followed none of this final advice and maybe I did poison myself and my household but I just opened a few windows and within a few days everything was all ok. I do still google things but I am noticing (a) how different the advice is from one week to the next and (b) how Google always has a suggestion about what I might buy next …
Greater Metropolitan Cemetery Trust In my experience this organisation is a totally incompetent clown show. On top of that they show such arrogance in failing to answer questions about their decision and what their processes are. A procedure that would take thirty minutes to complete has now dragged out to six weeks with still not being resolved.… Read more
Our ninety nine year old mother has now been buried for over four months and we are still not able to get the plaque updated. Our father was buried there twenty two years ago but he still has the Right of Internment (ROI) which is needed to update the plaque. But yet the GMCT say family members can inherit the ROI and this never happened in twenty two years. I filled out the application to have the ROI transferred into my name (with approval from my siblings – we are all over seventy) and to add my daughter so the next generation would not have to go through the process. The GMCT after one month, sent an email that they are not proceeding with the application. NO REASON and NO EXPLANATION. In the same email the say that I, along with my siblings, and even two sister in laws, that we are all eligible to inherit the ROI. So I asked how and when can this be done. Again, no reply. My email was totally ignored. A friend said we should be able under probate authority to get the plaque updated. GMCT then gave up the option for three of us executors of the will to get temporary authority to update the plaque, so after notifying GMCT that we would like this option and we would like to make an appointment to sign whatever was needed, I was told the person at GMCT was waiting for directions from management. Now another week has passed with no reply as to when we can proceed.
Google AI versus ChatGPT AI I asked both platforms the same question: “What is the charge to get a new photo on my Queensland driving licence?” Google AI couldn’t give me an answer. It just hung there displaying, “Thinking a little longer.” ChatGPT gave me the correct answer very quickly. You should note that the AI used on the Standard AI Google… Read more
Search page is a different AI than the AI Mode search button to the right of the Google Search text entry line. I have had to correct both of them. You do get slightly different answers to the same question from each. I have had to correct both of them. They do admit that I was right whenever I do it. Oddly, I find the standard Google Search AI gives better answers than the AI Mode button. I have no idea why Google has two different AI systems.

Woolworths brand Tuna pasta with vegetables this product looks nothing like the picture on the packaging, it’s just water, no flaked tuna or creamy sauce as described on the package, just murky water. It was disgusting and uneatable, I had to throw it away. Photos and video below. Surely they can do better! And you can’t send them an email so you can show them proof, you have to ring them that’s why I posted it here. Very disappointed.
SCAM I had an extremely disappointing experience with this company and would strongly advise others to be very careful before ordering from them. My order was delayed far beyond the promised delivery timeframe, and despite multiple follow-ups and continuous patience from my side, communication became extremely poor and unreliable. I was… Read more
initially given reassurances and excuses about supplier delays, but after requesting either proper compensation or a refund, my emails were simply ignored completely.
What made the situation even worse was the lack of professionalism and customer care. Instead of taking responsibility for the inconvenience caused, they offered a very minimal gesture that did not even come close to compensating for the long delay and frustration.
As a customer, I understand delays can sometimes happen, but ignoring customers and failing to provide proper updates or solutions is unacceptable. The entire experience has been stressful, time-consuming, and very frustrating.
I have now lost confidence in this business entirely and will not be purchasing from them again. I will also be sharing my experience with friends, family, and community members so others are aware before placing an order.
Very poor customer service, poor communication, and a highly disappointing overall experience.

This is the Westinghouse fridge I returned to Appliances Online. Rather than wait 2 weeks for a replacement they offered me a Beko which was $468 more expensive (and an inferior fridge in my opinion). They also offered me a Hisense for the same price as Good Guys. Complete waste of time dealing with this company. I wonder how long it will take them to refund my money
Product arrived not advertised correctly. Advertised as an mobile air conditioner/heater although only operates on heat. False advertising. Terrible website not user friendly when trying to contact them for a refund and /or return. My advice is DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
A wonderful cafe with great coffee and food but above all helping the community and children less fortunate within our community. Highly recommend
We are just wanting to provide a testimonial for our recent purchase. The whole process from ordering to receiving this product was exceptional and a credit to all involved. We had this stovetop cover made for our boat, and the end result was perfect. Many thanks, Jan Moffatt

Fantastic lunch and hospitality. The food was cooked and presented with finesse. Food displayed a lot of culinary technique that translated into favour and mouth feel. As per usual the wines spoke for themselves with Riesling featuring beautifully. Service attentive yet not intrusive which we like. Thank you team Skillogallee and we can highly recommend.

Fuel Draining Specialists Sunshine Coast and Brisbane. Sadly I needed your services for my hilux and response and outcome were great. Hilux drained, flushed with new diesel and drained again, fault tested and topped up enough to get me to a servo. Thanks so much as was stressing.
Goal Solar attracted me with great prices for great products. I spoke with Frank and Glen, both knowledgeable and a friendly attitude. They put everything in place, set up the finance, got the deal done and Battery installed very quickly!

Follow-up · Google ultimately sent me a refurbished phone, which I am sure was in fact brand new. Since then I have had no further issues. All good.
I use Google a lot to search for movies and what Google does is always bring up the wrong movie that has been made at least twice. For instance I searched The Haunted Mansion a movie from 2003 with Eddie Murphy in it and Google bring up a later… Read more
version movie with the same name. The Cellar Door from 2007 they also brought up the wrong movie and Serenity from 2005. And the reason Google do this is because if you annoy Google like I have over the years, they sabotage your search results. When you send feedback to Google there is a box that you can check that says Include A Screenshot So Our Teams Can Better Assess The Feedback but you then don't get to include a screenshot so why is this feature on there for and so many times I've looked at cast members of a movie, and instead of having a picture of a person Google has a picture of the Marvel Comics movie with Robert Downey Jr in it.
Follow-up · I only use Google as I've heard other search engines are no better. I usually search for movies on DVD that I can buy. How often does it happen. Regularly and my searches are always riddled with flaws. I believe Google do this on purpose. I've even searched movies and had an Australian Rugby Union player come up. And one other odd things is now… Read more

I would highly recommend OG. His knowledge of the clothing range is fantastic and he gave some great advice on how to style different pieces. The customer service was outstanding and made the shopping experience really enjoyable.
I have used Gmail for year as a personal user. It is reliable and generally easy to use and free. Things I dont like: 1. The reply message nesting. These should pop out like a completely new email with the new text at the top when replying and the old text inline below. I find it frustrating when yuo scrole to check something in the email, it is… Read more
often difficult to relocate your reply message. Yahoo, Outlook etc do this well. 2. Not being able to seach for lots of email say from a particulate sender or on a topic, then block select and MOVE to a separate mail subfolder. It seems to only allow you to label them when you block select a lot of items. Maybe it;s me.
Help me if I am doing this wrong.

⭐ 1 Star I paid over $100 for several software programs from this company, and unfortunately none of them worked as advertised.

this has been a very frustrating experience. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience and would strongly advise others to research carefully before making a purchase.
I am still willing to update this review if the company contacts me and resolves the issue.

The idiots at Transport NSW that decided to conduct track work on the metro Mother’s Day weekend!!! Could it not have been done the next weekend? Instead of causing so much delay for those of us who rely on the metro I bet that those same idiots would not disrupt Father’s Day

DO NOT USE THIS TRAIN LINE — worst experience ever. We booked Eurostar 9352 from Amsterdam to Paris (13:10pm–16:48pm). About 30 minutes into the journey, the train stopped due to technical issues. I understand that delays happen, but it was incredibly frustrating to wait over six hours before seeing any real action from the staff. We were left… Read more
hungry for most of the day and weren’t offered even basic snacks until around 7pm. Meanwhile, we had an Uber booked in Paris that we couldn’t use, so we lost money there too. What should have been a 3.5-hour trip turned into a 10-hour ordeal. We didn’t get to our hotel until around 10:30pm, and our first day in Paris was effectively ruined we had to reschedule everything planned for 21/04/26.
Save yourself the trouble and choose a different train.

I received an order from NERVE SMOOTH in the USA. I received the order but what they have done is deducted two amounts on my credit card both different and higher than what my official receipt states. The receipt is in AUS dollars so there is no mistake. They will not answer my emails. What a scam. I still don't know if the product actually works. This is a rip off.
