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.”

      Unfortunately that will likely prove untrue. Look many decades it took to finally eliminate lead in paint and gas after we knew conclusively that it was harmful.

      I’ve been around for a while and shit has changed significantly under a relatively long lived set of dudes.
