Faked screenshots, says Google in response to Search’s AI Overviews debacle

AI Overviews were announced at the Google I/O event a few days ago exclusively to users in the US with the promise of higher satisfaction with its search results by suggesting info and webpages closest to the search query. This new feature was a result of Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), launched last year.

In the last few days, people have shared screenshots of inaccurate and misleading results after using the new feature. Liz Reid, VP, Head of Google Search, has responded to the feedback in a blog post and detailed next steps that are being taken.
