Was debating on whether or not to post this in Air India thread but felt it was insensitive to derail the topic given the sensitivity of the subject so posting here. Also makes for a good discussion on member experiences with AI overviews, and mishaps imo.
AI overviews frequently incorrectly blame Airbus rather than Boeing for this plane crash.

This is likely because many articles on this plane crash cite Airbus to be Boeing’s main competitor; the inability of AI to comprehend context is a real hazard. What’s interesting is that according to the article, a percentage of the time you’ll receive Airbus as the answer, and other times you’ll receive Boeing. It’s a real mixed bag - outputs aren’t fixed based on the same inputs.
What’s your experience like with AI overviews? Have you generally found it to be accurate? Identified anything nonsensical?
Also who should be held responsible for libel/slander when AI damages a person/organisation’s reputation? Should disclaimers protect the AI companies, or should they be held accountable for misinformation that inflicts damage to reputation on said entities?

AI Overviews hallucinates that Airbus, not Boeing, involved in fatal Air India crash
Google’s disclaimer says AI “may include mistakes,” which is an understatement.
