Google's AI Overviews have been criticized for providing misleading and sometimes bizarre advice, such as suggesting users eat rocks or use glue on pizza
The controversy has now affected users in six more countries, highlighting the widespread impact of these AI-generated errors
Google is working on technical improvements to reduce the likelihood of such errors, including better detection mechanisms for nonsensical queries
The company is also limiting the inclusion of satirical, humorous, and user-generated content in AI responses to prevent misleading advice
This issue has become a significant PR challenge for Google, as social media users continue to share examples of the AI's strange recommendations
