User Burkov harshly criticized Google's AI Overviews feature, calling it "the biggest lying machine in the world." He expressed shock that Google shows it as the default generated answer for all queries.
Burkov argued that while showing AI mode by default is more expensive, the model used by Overviews is simply poor quality, frequently generating inaccurate content.
