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.”

    ChatGPT has given me verifiably false information plenty of times. It’s amazing how it’s gets things right, but also amazing how it can get basic stuff completely wrong.

      So… Humans get basic things right all the time and never provide false information? What humans are you talking to?
