Google's "AI Overview" feature hallucinates and has been generating inaccurate responses.

Google's "AI Overview" feature in search results has been generating some inaccurate responses which sparks criticism among US-based users. 😞 

Since the last Google I/O 2024 or sometime before, this new "AI Overview" feature has been rolled out to US-based users.

The "AI overview" has sparked outrage with numerous instances of :
 🛑 Hallucinating false and fabricated facts
 🛑 Plagiarizing content from websites without attribution
 🛑 Failing to filter out low-credible sources.

Some examples of the results generated from a tech giant's AI Gemini model are :
1️⃣ AI overview falsely claims the Eiffel Tower is located in Italy.
2️⃣ Identifying former US President Barack Obama as Muslim, while he is a Christian
3️⃣ Plagiarizing text from blogs including mentions of the author's children.
4️⃣ Suggesting to apply non-toxic glue to stick cheese to a pizza.
5️⃣ Asking users to eat at least one small rock every day.

💡 Workaround :
Currently, there is no easy way to disable "AI Overview" in the search, but by just clicking on the "web" tab, it should show you the regular results instead.
