Why Google’s AI cannot spell ‘Google’: Explaining the controversy

Google isn’t alien to controversies surrounding AI. A year ago, the AI Overviews feature was struggling to figure out the correct year, suggesting that the year was 2024, even though the query was made in 2025. At the time, Google had explained the reasons behind the anomaly and rectified the issues eventually. Since then, the search giant has been keen on integrating its AI model into everything, including the web search function and Android phones. Just as that was expected to happen smoothly, Google is now part of another controversy.
