Google CEO Sundar Pichai says problems with its AI can't be solved because hallucinations are an inherent problem in these AI tools.
You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)
Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem."

Then what made you think it’s a good idea to include that in your product now?!
I'd rather get an AI answer that is kinda incorrect than having to search the top 10 pages with ads and cookies buttons to get the same kinda incorrect information.
Websites just figured out how Google's page rank works and gamed the system. I mean i feel a little bad for them but they brought this upon themselves when they monetized their product.
