Google explains bugs and updates AI Overviews for more accurate search results

Google is making updates to its AI Overviews service to improve its accuracy and efficiency following criticism over bugs.

Here's What We Know

Google has explained that AI Overviews is used for traditional search tasks, such as identifying relevant results from their index, and does not just generate texts, but also contains relevant links for research.

The company is trying to differentiate AI Overviews from other LLM products that may have problems with hallucinations. The company has identified some cases where the system makes mistakes due to misinterpretation of queries or the use of satirical content.

Google has improved its algorithms and established processes to remove inaccurate answers. The tech giant introduced restrictions on the processing of satirical and humorous content in its AI Overviews. The system identifies such queries and restricts their processing or does not use them to generate answers.

Google confirms that the majority of AI reviews provide high-quality information.
