You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)
Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these “hallucinations” are an “inherent feature” of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature “is still an unsolved problem.”
Nothing is going to change until people die because of this shit.
And to show everyone how sorry they are… free Google AI services for a year when you digitally sign this unrelated document.
Yep, better disclaimers are inevitable. When they call it a ‘feature’ it isn’t getting fixed
If they can put up a disclaimer on misinformation, they could just not return the misinformation.
It wouldn’t be anything specific. The disclaimers would just be overbroad stuff like “Please verify this answer. Google is not responsible for anything. Blah blah blah.”

I’ve been around for a while and shit has changed significantly under a relatively long lived set of dudes.
Unfortunately that will likely prove untrue. Look many decades it took to finally eliminate lead in paint and gas after we knew conclusively that it was harmful.
