Free money from Google? Well, that’s a very fortunate situation for Google Pixel users. The story(although) has a bit of a story to it and there’s uncertainty about whether the free money from Google will be accessed by Google Pixel users.
The story behind the free money from Google
Some members on the /r/GooglePixel subreddit are receiving free cash from Google, along with a message stating they are receiving the money for “dogfooding the Google Pay remittance experience.” Some receive a little sum, while others see their balance climb by more than $1,000.
“Dogfooding” refers to the practice of testing a new feature or service before making it accessible to the general public. This means that Google is inadvertently transferring cash to random users for “testing” Google Pay features rather than rewarding the staff who tested them.
Following that, Google notified the impacted consumers that they would endeavor to reverse the payment, but that if they were unable to do so, the money was theirs to retain. Speaking of free money from Google, to avoid free money from scammers, Google employs machine learning to assist it in detecting trends that may suggest bogus material. It improved this technology last year, making it faster to detect such false information.
Scammers were putting phony phone numbers on top of provided photographs in Google Maps, according to Google. The idea was to trick unwary Maps users into dialing the bogus number for a company rather than the actual number. You can see how this may lead to fraudulent credit card transactions that are difficult to contest for people who have been fooled.
Google retaliated by using a machine learning algorithm that analyzes visual features to detect whether a submitted photo has a false phone number pasted on top. Google “banned the great majority of these fake and policy-violating photographs before they were released” by using the machine learning algorithm.
