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."

But it's so easy.

With neural networks, it is impossible, and we have known that for 30 years at least. It has been taught in the universities all the time.

Shut that crap down. Leave the neural net technology.

Then develop the next AI technology and make it better.

(Accept that you can't make money from it for at least 5 or 10 years or so, and No, I am not going to figure out how many quarters that is)

rule of thumb: multiply by 4 to convert from years to quarters. You're welcome.
