You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries [https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/24/tech/google-search-ai-results-incorrect-fix/index.html]? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza [https://futurism.com/the-byte/googles-ai-glue-on-pizza-flaw] to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)
