C.So, Canadian "bad boy" fiddler Ashley MacIsaac has done as he said he would and sued Google, over its "AI" search summary labelling him a sex offender. It apparently drew that fact from news coverage of a different person of the same name. A suit for defamation seems fair to me.
I think that @lauren is right, and that lawsuits like this, and large settlements or jury awards that go along with them, are the only thing that will even possibly change Google's trajectory on including these garbage LLM-invented search summary answers. They don't listen to criticism, they don't listen to complaints from their victims, they don't address ethical issues - but shareholders ultimately have the power to hold them, and the C-suite executives making the decisions, to account for the bushels of money going out the door in response to their BS-machine's workings.
I'm not generally a big fan of "lawsuit as lottery ticket", but with the LLM snake-oil salesmen (of all companies), I think it's the best approach possible in the circumstances, at least without strong European-style regulation (which isn't going to happen in North America any time soon).

That's going to be a difficult task. I mean, you also have Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Sam Bankman-Fried, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Donald Trump in America as well. So, pretty stiff competition for that title, there. It'll be quite the debate who is hated the most out of all involved.
