Google’s flashy new AI Search feature can’t even say what year it is — and that's not very reassuring.
- Google Search’s AI Overview results are known to confidently give wrong answers, and they continue to do so.
- The latest gaffe surfaced when users asked if it is 2025, to which AI Overview incorrectly claims it is 2024 and not 2025.
- Such confidently wrong results highlight the perils of relying on AI for fact-checking. Users can turn off AI Overview for cleaner search results.
Update, May 30, 2025 (11:47 AM ET): A Google spokesperson has shared the following statement with us:
As with all Search features, we rigorously make improvements and use examples like this to update our systems. The vast majority of AI Overviews provide helpful, factual information and we’re actively working on an update to address this type of issue.
