Google AI Overview made up an elaborate story about me

Searching for "benn jordan isreal", the first result for me is a video[0] from a different creator, with the exact same title and date. There is no mentioning of "benn" in the video, but some mentioning of jordan (the country). So maybe, this was enough for Google to hallucinate some connection. Highly concerning!

This is almost certainly what happened. Google's AI answers aren't magic -- they're just summarizing across searches. In this case, "Israel" + "Jordan" pulled back a video with opposite views than the author.

It's somewhat less obvious to debug, because it'll pull more context than Google wants to show in the UI. You can see this happening in AI mode, where it'll fire half a dozen searches and aggregate snippets of 100+ sites before writing its summary.
