Google Admits Its AI Search Feature Is a Dumpster Fire, Says It Will Scale Back the Tool

Google is at least partially admitting that its AI Overviews search feature is a hot mess., for instance, to add "about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue" to their pizza sauce to stop it from sliding off the pie. Other users were told to, admitting that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." As a result, Google announced that it will limit some responses, especially when it detects "nonsensical queries that shouldn't show an AI Overview.

"At the scale of the web, with billions of queries coming in every day, there are bound to be some oddities and errors," Google search head Liz Reid wrote in the blog post. "We’ll keep improving when and how we show AI Overviews and strengthening our protections, including for edge cases, and we’re very grateful for the ongoing feedback.

To be clear, this has been going on for well over a year, and with Google's latest high-profile blunder, it doesn't bode well for the future of the tech.
