Google is refining and retooling its summaries of search results generated by artificial intelligence after facing backlash for returning bizarre and inaccurate answers, including suggesting people eat rocks or add glue to pizza sauce.
The company is implementing restrictions on the types of searches that generate AI-written summaries, limiting satire and humor content, and taking action against AI Overviews that violate content policies.
Google's AI Overviews feature, part of its push towards generative artificial intelligence, led to public embarrassment with examples misinterpreting information, using satirical sources, and circulating fake screenshots of absurd answers.
Liz Reid defended the AI Overviews feature, attributing genuine falsehoods to gaps in information due to rare or unusual searches, despite facing ridicule and backlash for the tool's errors.
