You honestly think Google is intentionally giving wrong answers??? Google would love to have a perfect oracle that never makes mistakes! Maybe German courts can conjure one up.

The choices are not between "perfect oracle that never makes mistakes" and "hallucinated AI overviews".

Google 100% has the choice not to include AI overviews. Which they know are often false.

It would mean egg on their face, to be sure, but would it even meaningfully impact revenue?
