Google Refines AI Search After Bizarre Results

Google admitted that its new generative AI search feature, AI Overviews, needs adjustments after it advised people to eat rocks and put glue on pizza. The incident underscores the risks and limitations of using large language models (LLMs) like Gemini, which can generate convincing but erroneous information. Despite extensive testing, Google's AI still struggles with accuracy due to the unreliable nature of online content. Competitors like You.com claim to avoid such errors through various techniques, but even they face challenges. Experts believe Google may have rushed its AI upgrade, leading to these issues.
