Heres one: SCRAP IT
The "solution" is to curate things, invest massive human resources in it, and ultimately still gets accused of tailoring the results and censoring stuff.
Let's put that toy back in the toy box, and keep it at the few things it can do well instead of trying to fix every non-broken things with it.

Hilariously, Google actually used to do this: they had a database called the "knowledge graph" that slowly accumulated verified information and relationships between commonly-queried entities, producing an excellent corpus of reliable, easy-to-find information about a large number of common topics.
Then they decided having people curate things was too expensive and gave up on it.
I've seen suggestions that the AI Overview is based on the top search results for the query, so the terrible answers may be more to do with Google Search just being bad than any issue with their AI. The AI Overview just makes things a bit worse by removing the context, so you can't see the glue on pizza suggestion was a joke on reddit or it was The Onion suggesting eating rocks.

It's quite simple. Garbage in, garbage out. Data they use for training needs to be curated. How to curate the entire internet, I have no clue.
The real answer would be "don't". Have a decent whitelist dor training data with reliable data. Don't just add every orifice of the internet (like reddit) to the training data. Limitations would be good in this case.

Nothing is going to change until people die because of this shit.
And to show everyone how sorry they are... free Google AI services for a year when you digitally sign this unrelated document.
Yep, better disclaimers are inevitable. When they call it a 'feature' it isn't getting fixed

I just realized that Trump beat them to the punch. Injecting cleaning solution into your body sounds exactly like something the AI Overview would suggest to combat COVID.
"It's your responsibility to make sure our products aren't nonsense. All we want to do is to make money off you regardless."
Are they now AI, large language models or AI large language models?
You ask a lot of questions for a bag of sentient meat.

What happens when you put a product manager in charge of a software company.
Think I'll try that glue pizza. An odd taste choice, sure. But google wouldn't reccomend actually harmful things. They're the kings of search baby! They would have to be legally responsible as individuals for the millions of cases brought against them. They know that as rich people, they will face the harshest consequences! If anything went wrong, they'd find themselves in a.......STICKY situation!!!!
These models are mad libs machines. They just decide on the next word based on input and training. As such, there isn’t a solution to stopping hallucinations.
