Google is really shooting themselves in the foot with AI overviews.

It's probably the most popular AI on earth by daily queries, and likewise probably an ~8B level model, it means a whole bunch of people equate Google AI to AI overviews.

I'm a bit biased, but I find the AI overviews to be basically great. All I want from a search engine is the correct answer, Google's knowledge graph has done that for many queries for a long time, and AI overviews seems like a good next step in that process.

I've not seen many hallucinations, fact checking is fairly straightforward with the onward links, and it's not like I can take any linked content at face value anyway, I'd still want to fact check when it makes sense even if it wasn't AI written.

You've been asking things that are verbatim in the first few links. Ask anything that isn't and it will confidently hallucinate.
