Google has been trying to integrate artificial intelligence into its search engine for some time. Google Search, which aims to provide concise information, has become the focus of criticism for giving wrong answers from time to time. For example, it suggested some users to eat sticky substances.

Artificial intelligence Google Search feature gives wrong information

The tool, called “AI Overviews”, has been tested on Google Search since last week. This feature, which uses artificial intelligence to summarize search results, aims to save users time.

However, some users reported that the AI gave strange and incorrect answers for certain search results. For example, it told users who wanted to sprinkle cheese on a pizza that they could use “non-toxic glue”. In another example, it advised people to eat one rock a day.

The sources of the incorrect answers are not yet clear. However, many people believe they have difficulty distinguishing misinformation on social media. These responses have become a source of ridicule on social media. It also undermines the company’s AI search engine experience.

Google argued that such instances are extremely rare. The tech giant emphasized that it is very difficult to make factually accurate summaries on a large scale.

Google rolled out this feature to users in the US in May, following initial trials in the UK. However, the reactions draw attention to the fact that Google may spread false information.

So what do you think about this issue? Do you think artificial intelligence will be a part of search? You can share your thoughts in the comments section.
