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."

The greatest scapegoat ever created. AI did it not us, oh no!

This is only a problem if you present the AI as an effective general-purpose tool. Which Google has.

So maybe we start suing google for harmful answers.

I'd have to send you back in time.

RAG is still the most reliable method for increasing accuracy and giving you the means of checking your sources.

Im telling ya, Kagis FastGPT is the best search AI implementation I've used.

It links the pages it used as a source.
