NEW DELHI: Google is manually removing the inaccurate responses to search queries generated by its new AI-powered search tool – Google Overviews, according to a recent report. The search giant has taken note of the numerous cases surfacing on social media, such as recommending people apply glue on pizza to make cheese stick better. In response, it is reportedly scrambling to fix the brand-new tool that it introduced at its recently held developer conference.
According to a report published by The Verge, Google is manually turning off AI Overviews for web queries. In one of the reported instances, a user recently askedGoogle, “did any president ever have a Ferrari”, to which it provided an accurate response, stating that US President Donald Trump owned at least one Ferrari.
However, it is now being reported that searching for the same query does not bring up an AI-generated response anymore. Instead, Google now reportedly mentions, “An AI Overview is not available for this search”. In an email to The Verge, Meghann Farnsworth, Communications Manager at Google emphasised that the company is “taking swift action” to remove certain AI Overview responses to queries.
