Google's AI can't even get Google facts right, but it's coming to search

It's hard to trust Google's new AI-powered search vision when it can't even correctly summarize the details of its own products. At its Google I/O developer conference on Wednesday, Google laid out the foundation for revamping its iconic search engine, which has followed the same basic formula for years. The company aims to power Google search up with conversational and generative AI -- and, most importantly, put those responses before traditional links and everything else. For the most popular search engine in the world, this is a monumental change. The problem with that approach is that AI chatbots often make confident-sounding mistakes -- and, true to form, Google couldn't even get the details of its latest Google Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet products exactly right, including the price.
