Google’s new A.I. Overviews feature, launched in May, uses generative A.I. to provide instant answers to user’s search queries, including those related to health. However, this innovation has been met with significant challenges, including inaccuracies and strange responses. The tool, which synthesizes information from across the internet, has shown a tendency to produce fabricated facts or advice not based on scientific evidence.
