Google's AI Overviews can't catch a break.

- Google’s AI Overviews feature has been caught advising the addition of glue to pizza again.
- This time, the AI model referenced news posts documenting the previous incident.
- The search giant has already scaled back AI Overviews from showing up as frequently in results.
In a bizarre twist, Google’s AI search feature seems to be stuck in a recursive loop of its most infamous mistake – recommending glue on pizza. After attracting criticism for suggesting users glue down their pizza cheese to prevent it from sliding off, AI Overviews is now referencing news articles about that very incident to…well, still recommend adding glue to pizzas.
Google began testing its AI Overviews feature last year, but users had to opt-in before they would see summaries in their search results. Last month, however, the company decided to ship the feature to the general public following its I/O developer conference. Ever since then, the company has come under fire after the AI offered inaccurate and harmful advice to unsuspecting users. While the glue on pizza instance is the most well-known, AI Overviews has also suggested eating rocks and “adding more oil to a cooking oil fire.”
