Google announced a few new AI-related updates to Google Search this week, including a new feature that appears as "Expert Advice" in AI Mode and the AI Overview section at the top of the search results page. 

When a user performs a search, Google will now bring in social media posts and forum discussions from around the internet in order to help answer a user's query. The content will appear beside the creator's name, handle, or the community name where the information was posted. A link will also be included to the source.

In one of Google's examples, a search about taking pictures of the Northern Lights provided the user with "Expert Advice" from sources such as photography news website DPReview and a WordPress-hosted website for an aurora borealis tour company. However, the advice also featured commentary from Reddit's r/photography subreddit.

Labeling social media and forum posts as "Expert Advice" could certainly be problematic for certain search queries. Search results from platforms like Reddit have become very popular among users looking for reviews or recommendations on products or services.

However, users likely shouldn't trust these sources for something like medical advice. And because many spammers are taking advantage of Reddit's newfound visibility in Google Search, not all Reddit commentary comes from actual users.

Google says that these new sources won't always be labeled "Expert Advice." The company is describing this content as a "preview of perspectives." In some of Google's examples of the feature, the social media and forum content appears under the title of "Perspectives" or "Community Experiences."

Along with this new feature, Google announced a few more updates to AI Overviews and AI Mode as well.

AI Overviews will now provide users with recommendations on topics or queries for "Further Exploration" in order to encourage users to dig deeper. 

In addition, Google has launched a link preview feature inside AI Overviews to give users more information about a certain source. Users will see a pop-up with a preview of the website when hovering over a link.

Speaking of links, Google is making links in AI Overviews more obvious, too. Relevant links in AI responses will be highlighted and appear right next to the information.

Google is also rolling out a feature that will highlight links in AI Overviews from news sources that a user subscribes to. According to Google, in its testing of the feature, users were more likely to click links for sources that they were already subscribed to.

A new fitness tracker has entered the chat. The Google Fitbit Air is set to launch on May 26, and it comes packed with useful and user-friendly features. If you're considering an upgrade to the latest Fitbit, check out these preorder benefits.

Through May 25, preorders for the Fitbit Air come with a free $35 Google Store credit. Google will provide the credit after the fitness tracker ships. Additional bands start at $34.99, so the free credit is a great opportunity to snag a band that matches your preferences.

In addition to the free Google Store credit, preorders get three months of free access to Google Health Premium, which also launches on May 26. A month's subscription to Google Health Premium normally comes with a price of $9.99.

Google says this service uses Gemini to give personal health and fitness coaching, adaptive to your lifestyle and preferences. It gives users a detailed sleep score, weekly coaching spotlights, medical record summaries, and fitness plans that adapt to their goals. It also contains a workout library and meditation sessions.

Co-designed with NBA star Stephen Curry, the Google Fitbit Air is a lightweight and minimalistic fitness tracker, falling into the category of a screenless fitness tracker like the Whoop. However, unlike the Whoop, the Fitbit Air comes with a starting price of just $99.99.

If you're looking for a thin and lightweight fitness tracker, the latest Fitbit Air could be perfection. Preorder it from Google before it launches on May 26, and you'll get a free $35 Google Store credit.

TL;DR: Through May 21, new and returning anime fans can get three months of Crunchyroll Fan for $1.99 per month (reg. $9.99 per month) or Mega Fan for $2.99 per month (reg. $13.99 per month) directly or as a Prime Video add-on during the Crunchyroll ANi-MAY sale.

Crunchyroll jacked up its prices earlier this year after ending its free streaming plan, much to the dismay of anime fans. But the streamer is kind of making up for it with its ANi-MAY Sale this month.

Through May 21, new and returning subscribers can get three months of the Crunchyroll Fan subscription tier for just $1.99 per month (reg. $9.99) or the Crunchyroll Mega Fan subscription tier for just $2.99 per month (reg. $13.99). That's $24 or $33 total in savings across three months. The deal is available through the Crunchyroll app or website directly or as a Prime Video add-on subscription.

The Fan subscription gets you ad-free access to the entire Crunchyroll library, including new episodes shortly after airing in Japan. You'll also get offline viewing, 5% off select products in the Crunchyroll Store, and the ability to stream on one device at a time. With the Mega Fan subscription, you'll unlock access to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, 10% off select products, members-only offers, early access to sales, and the ability to stream on four devices at a time.

The anime-streaming giant is loaded with a vast selection of popular titles, Crunchyroll Originals, and simulcasts, including One Piece, Gachiakuta, Solo Leveling, Demon Slayer, and the beloved Witch Hat Atelier.

If you've ever been the least bit curious about anime and want to explore the genre, this is the subscription to get. And what better time than during the ANi-MAY Sale, when it's only a couple of bucks per month. Just imagine how much you can watch in three month's time.

The rocket company’s new semiconductor factory, called Terafab, is part of the billionaire’s increasing efforts to dominate artificial intelligence.

Summer fitness tracking just got an upgrade. On May 7, Google officially launched the Fitbit Air, which Stephen Curry has been sporting for weeks now. The screenless health and fitness tracker is set to ship on May 26 and is perhaps Whoop's newest competitor. While the Fitbit Air looks great and comes with user-friendly features, it's price of $99.99 might be one of its best attributes.

As the name suggests, the Fitbit Air is incredibly lightweight, coming in at just 12 grams with the band. It's designed to be comfortable enough for all day and all night wear. That's great news since Google says battery life can stretch for up to one week, and it has advanced sleep tracking capabilities.

We have tons of options when it comes to fitness trackers, including smart rings, but not many fall under the $100 price mark. Google aims to bring a level of simplicity to fitness tracking with the Fitbit Air both in functionality and overall look, according to the brand's press release.

Features of the Fitbit Air

Like we've come to expect from fitness trackers, the Fitbit Air does the standard tracking of workouts, 24/7 heart-rate monitoring, and monitoring sleep stages. Getting more detailed and unique, the Fitbit Air takes note of heart rate rhythms and is equipped with Afib (atrial fibrillation) alerts. It also tracks SpO2 and heart-rate variability.

When it comes time to workout, you don't necessarily have to let the Air know because it's designed to automatically detect and track workouts. Google says over time, the tracker will get better at automatic detection as it becomes more accustomed to your routines. If swimming is your preferred workout, it's water resistant up to 50 meters.

The Fitbit Air's battery life is said to last for up to seven days, and a full recharge should only take about 90 minutes. If you're short on time, Google says a five-minute charge will earn you an additional day of battery life.

Stephen Curry special edition

In addition to the standard colorway options, there's a special edition on offer at launch — the Stephen Curry model. The NBA champ helped Google with developing the Fitbit Air, and the special model comes with a Performance Loop band with a water-resistant coating. The interior has raised bands that are said to help with increased airflow during intense activity. The Stephen Curry edition of the Fitbit Air comes in at $129.99, or $30 more than the Air with a Classic band.

Preorders for the Fitbit Air are already live. Google says the tracker is set to hit shelves on May 26. You can also pre-order accessory bands today which start at $34.99. There's additional incentive to preorder since Google is offering a free $35 Google Store credit on all orders. The credit will show up after your order ships.

TikTok was offering AI-powered text summaries of videos, but that's no longer happening.

Business Insider reported that the feature, which went live recently, is being heavily scaled back due to its propensity for strange, inexplicable errors.

Rather than describing what's happening in the video, the feature will now just identify products seen in the video instead. According to Business Insider, one of the most wild errors the summary feature made was describing a very straightforward video of Charli D'Amelio as a "collection of various blueberries with different toppings."

One does not have to go far on social media to find other examples.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

BI also noted some other examples it saw, such as describing a dog training video as "a captivating display of intricate origami art, meticulously folded from a single sheet." Another favorite of mine is a video of Shakira described as "a repetitive sequence of several distinct blue shapes appearing and moving across the screen."

It remains unclear exactly how this feature made it into the live version of the app if it had such serious problems, but we can rest easy knowing it's not in there anymore.

Mashable has reached out to TikTok for comment, and we'll update this story if we receive a response.

As an avid reader, I think I have the best job in the world: I get to test e-readers.

That means among the many e-readers in my collection, I also have access to the full Kindle line-up. After testing through every single e-reader in Amazon's line-up, the one I still use everyday is the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. While I still think that the Paperwhite is the best for most people, I've taken to the Signature Edition because of its plentiful 32GB of storage. I download a lot of books to my e-reader at once so I need a device to handle it and the Signature Edition fits the bill. Plus, I certainly don't mind that it's ad-free.

But is now a good time to buy a Kindle? Definitely — especially with Mother's Day this Sunday. First, all of the e-readers on sale right now will arrive in time for Mother's Day so if you're looking for a gift for mom, let this be it. And while these aren't the lowest prices ever, I do have to say, they're still pretty good. The Signature Edition is just $15 more than its lowest price ever and the standard Paperwhite is just $10 more than it's lowest price ever. So if you don't want to wait for Amazon Prime Day, which is coming this June, now is a great time to buy.

We've found three great Kindle e-reader deals to shop, plus, there are a ton of books on sale to shop, too. Here are the best Kindle deals to shop — and they'll all arrive before Mother's Day.

According to camelcamelcamel, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's lowest price ever is $149.99. That means right now at $164.99, it's only $15 off from its record low. It hasn't even been that low since last year. So leading up to Prime Day, this is the best deal to shop right now.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has lots of special features you can't get in the standard Paperwhite. It includes auto-brightness that responds to your surroundings, plus it has wireless charging capabilities. But its two best features are its plentiful storage and ad-free display. With 32GB of storage, it holds thousands and thousands of books at once. Plus, no ads feels like a nice bonus so your lock screen isn't totally inundated by Kindle promotions. If you were to upgrade to the ad-free Paperwhite, that's $154.99 on sale. So for just $10 more you get twice the storage with the Signature Edition: not too bad.

And most importantly, if you're looking to get this as a gift for mom, then it'll arrive in time for Sunday.

Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of exaggerating the capabilities of Apple Intelligence and Siri.

The lawsuit claimed that Apple's 2024 and 2025 promotional campaigns for Siri and Apple Intelligence constituted false advertising and violated consumer protection laws. Apple hasn't admitted any wrongdoing in the case, however.

A judge still needs to sign off on the agreement, but tens of millions of iPhone owners could soon be eligible to receive between $25 to $95 in the settlement.

Which iPhones are included in the Apple AI lawsuit settlement?

The lawsuit covers U.S. consumers who purchased specific iPhone models in 2024 and 2025. Only iPhone models bought during a specific period and capable of running Apple Intelligence — Apple's name for its suite of AI tools — are included in the settlement.

A May 5 settlement filing states that U.S. shoppers who bought the following iPhone models between June 10, 2024 and March 29, 2025 can qualify for payment:

• iPhone 16

• iPhone 16e

• iPhone 16 Plus

• iPhone 16 Pro

• iPhone 16 Pro Max

• iPhone 15 Pro

• iPhone 15 Pro Max

After a judge signs the agreement, a settlement website will be created with more information.

How much will qualifying customers receive?

We've covered a lot of class-action lawsuits recently, and typically, individual payments are less than $50. After attorneys' fees and administration costs, the $250 million will be divided among qualifying customers.

If you qualify, you will be eligible to receive $25 per device. So, if you purchased four qualifying iPhones as part of a family plan, you could receive payments for multiple devices. In addition, per-device payments "may decrease or increase up to $95 per device, depending on claim volume and other factors," according to a press release from Clarkson Law Firm, one of the firms involved in the class action suit.

What was the Apple AI lawsuit about?

When it promoted the iPhone 16 in 2024, Apple teased a smarter, more conversational Siri with advanced AI capabilities.

Yet iPhone owners are still waiting for that newer, smarter Siri to arrive. (As Mashable reported in 2024, "Apple's collection of AI features, branded as Apple Intelligence, made its debut at WWDC 2024, showcasing new AI-powered tools like a smarter Siri, notification summaries, Genmoji, and more.")

We should finally see the unveiling of an AI-powered Siri — specifically, a Siri powered by Google Gemini — at WWDC 2026 in June.

However, not everyone was content to wait, and multiple class action lawsuits were filed against Apple in the meantime. Those suits were combined into a single action, and all parties have now agreed to a settlement.

Look, we know that companies have to be careful when introducing new, AI-driven features, but Spotify is really taking its sweet time with AI DJ.

The company first introduced the feature in 2023. It uses AI smarts and your personal music listening history to create a mixtape, as well as add a human-like voice commentary so that the experience feels almost like listening to a real radio station.

SEE ALSO: Spotify now verifies artists that are human, not AI

The problem is, Spotify originally launched AI DJ in the U.S. and Canada, gradually expanding it to new markets over time, but some key markets, including many in Europe, were missing — until now.

On Thursday, Spotify announced the expansion of AI DJ to six European markets: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Switzerland, as well as Brazil and South Korea. The company also introduced four new language options for the AI DJ: French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Spotify's AI DJ is now available in more than 75 global markets, the company said.

Featured Video For You How TikTok is Changing the Music Industry

To try it out, find the DJ on your Spotify home page, or search for "DJ." You can then make a request by voice or text by tapping the DJ button; to switch between languages, tap on the three-dot menu and select the language you like.

Spotify pointed out that the feature is (still!) in beta, and that you'll need the latest version of the app to access all of its features .

Portable power stations provide reliable off-grid power for travel, emergencies, and outdoor use. This video explains how they work, how to charge them, and where they’re most useful. It also looks at options like the Anker 521 and EcoFlow Delta 3.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio can't seem to stop slipping rap lyrics into important speeches.

His latest offence? Describing the top government officials in Iran as "insane in the brain", in an apparent reference to the 1993 Cypress Hill song.

"Really, Marco?" says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above. "A little inappropriate to be talking about old rap lyrics while you're talking about war. I mean, can you imagine your doctor telling you, 'If you're looking for the tumor on this scan, whoomp, there it is. I'm afraid it's actually spread from the windows to the wall...'"

Lydic goes on to play a montage of other times Rubio has referenced rap lyrics during speeches, before placing a hand up to her ear piece.

"I'm sorry," she says, "we're getting breaking news that rap is no longer cool."

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

We're just a couple of days away from the next phase of the lunar cycle, the Third Quarter. This is when the Moon appears to be around half full, lit only on the left side (right side if you're in the Southern Hemisphere).

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Thursday, May 7, the Moon phase is Waning Gibbous. Tonight, 74% of the moon will be be lit up, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide.

There is still enough of the Moon's surface illuminated to see features on it tonight. For example, if you look up with your naked eye you'll be able to spot the Mares Serenitatus, Vaporum and the Oceanus Procellarum.

If you have binoculars, you'll be able to see even more, including the Clavius Crater, Mare Humorum, and Alps Mountains are just a few. And that's not all, if you have a telescope you'll see all this plus the Apollo 14 and 15 landing spots as well as the Rima Hyginus.

When is the next Full Moon?

There are two Full Moons in May, with the next due to take place on May 31.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete a full orbit around Earth, passing through eight different phases along the way. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the way sunlight falls on it changes as it moves, which is what creates the familiar full, half, and crescent shapes. In total, there are eight main phases in the lunar cycle:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
