Following the launch of the new feature, users have been complaining about the results and mocking the AI-generated answers on social media platforms. Google employees have since manually corrected some of the AI Overviews answers, and the tech giant has detailed what engineers are doing to improve the system.
In an example that went viral, someone searched "cheese not sticking to pizza," and AI Overviews suggested adding "1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness." Users traced the information back to a humorous comment on an 11-year-old Reddit post.
Liz Reid, the vice president of Google Search, called the viral AI Overviews examples circulating online 'odd and erroneous' and alleged 'a very large number' of them were 'faked screenshots.' 'We hold ourselves to a high standard, as do our users, so we expect and appreciate the feedback, and take it seriously,' she wrote.
