I asked #Google Search a very basic, 100% fact-based question about the California DMV. The Google AI Overview confidently presented me with a 100% wrong answer. This is why I don't trust AI Overviews at all. I don't care how often they are correct, when they're wrong they're usually incredibly wrong and often in ways that could really screw people up who happened to believe those false AI-generated statements. And GOOGLE DOESN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.
@lauren I recently got this answer when asking a pretty simple question of how many active service members does the U.S. currently have
@benjistokman If it had just ended with the first sentence, I would’ve totally assumed it was accurate, but it just had to show off by adding something I didn’t even inquire about. I assume it’s 41% wrong—plus or minus, but I don’t know which.
@jeaux 41% decrease implies a 75% increase on the flipside. US population went up well under 50% in that timeframe.
@benjistokman I even thought maybe it was using the numbers 2023 and 1987 in its calculations, but that didn’t add up either. I finally just concluded that fractions are hard… even for AI.
