Testing in Prod. Stay classy, Google.

“The vast majority of AI Overviews provide high quality information, with links to dig deeper on the web,” said a Google spokesperson in an emailed statement to Gizmodo, noting many of the examples the company has seen have been from uncommon queries.

This is entirely fair. There is no way that anyone at Google could have anticipated that humans would search for strange things on the internet.
