Something notable about this case is that Google essentially argued that everyone knows Google's AI overviews are untrustworthy, and it's on them if they believe any of it. Coupled with Microsoft's assertion that Microsoft Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, one really has to wonder how seriously the companies pushing AI take their own technology.
From the linked article: "The Oumi analysis also found that 56 percent of the correct Gemini 3 answers couldn't be backed up by the sources Google linked. The AI is giving answers whose origins users can't trace." This technology is not fit for purpose.
Frankly, given how much is at stake, I find it unacceptable that multi-trillion-dollar corporations are playing word games with the legal system. They should release their products on Steam and XBOX if they're for entertainment only and get them out of search engines and office suites, tools people use to do real work every day.
