AI Overviews has not worked precisely how Google may have wanted, but the company is still ramping up its rollout.
This is the same AI-powered feature which advised people in the US to eat rocks and put glue on pizza.a new AI-powered feature
Unfortunately the feature did not yield the results that users were expecting in some cases, with many taking to social media to share the puzzling answers that AI Overviews served up. One of the most notable was the suggestion of using glue in order to improve the tackiness of sauce on pizza, which is of course wrong, and if by some chance followed by someone making the query, potentially fatal.
Google adds that support for the feature will be made available in English, as well as a local language, but this will vary greatly depending on the country. In India for example, Hindi will be supported, but more than 780 languages are spoken there. As such, Google appears to be focusing on the most popular languages in terms of support for this feature for now.
“AI Overviews can open up new ways to search that were never possible before. Now, more people around the world can use Search to ask new kinds of questions, find the information they need even faster, and explore the best the web has to offer. As we continue to gather feedback and refine the experience, we look forward to bringing this to even more people around the world,” it added.
