Google’s AI Overview is flawed by design, and a new company blog post hints at why

Google has responded to the recent issues with its AI Overview feature, which provides summarized answers to search queries, acknowledging the problems and outlining steps taken to improve the system. The AI Overview feature uses an AI model integrated with Google's web ranking systems to generate answers. However, it has been generating incorrect or potentially harmful responses. Google admitted that the feature is flawed, as it relies on Google's broken page-ranking algorithm to determine accurate information. Despite this, Google defended the feature and attributed some errors to users making nonsensical searches and circulating fake screenshots.

Google is using AI to answer your health questions. Should you trust it?

Google's new feature, AI Overviews, uses generative AI to produce conversational answers to search questions in a matter of seconds.

The tool does not specify which facts come from which sources, potentially causing confusion. Experts urge caution when using the tool for health-related queries.
