Google’s ‘AI Overviews’ advises adding glue to pizza sauce, lists ‘health benefits’ of tobacco for tweens

Google’s AI-generated search results are already being slammed as a “disaster” that “can no longer be trusted” — with critics citing bizarre responses that have included advising adding glue to pizza sauce and touting the health benefits of tobacco for kids.

In a controversial feature that critics say poses dire threats to traditional media outlets, Google’s chatbot auto-generates summaries for complex user queries while effectively demoting links to other websites.

Dubbed “AI Overviews,” the feature rolled out to all US users beginning last week and is expected to reach more than 1 billion users by the end of the year — despite continued flubs that have dinged the chatbot’s credibility.

One widely circulated screenshot showed Google’s AI-generated response to a search for the query “cheese not sticking to pizza.”

Google responded by listing “some things you can try” to prevent the issue.

“Mixing cheese into the sauce helps add moisture to the cheese and dry out the sauce,” Google’s AI Overview said. “You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness.”
