Google is working to eliminate AI-generated search results that have inaccurate answers, no matter how funny. The company’s latest feature uses artificial intelligence to generate summary responses, but has yielded unexpected and often bizarrely humorous results. While Google acknowledges that these mistakes were triggered by rare and unusual queries, not representative of typical user experiences, they are taking steps to manually review and correct the results. It appears that the AI Overview feature has been relying on web content regardless of reliability, including Reddit posts that were intended as jokes but weren’t flagged as such by the AI.
