Earlier today I searched for a salmon festival in my area. Google's AI overview told me it is scheduled on Saturday, September 9, 2024 - a date that does not exist.
How "intelligent" can it be if it can't even read a calendar?
The AI overview had found what I found earlier on a stale website - the festival information from September 9, *2021*.
I am intelligent enough to conclude that the event organizers moved on and won't continue the event this year, but Google's AI went with a lie instead.

Generative AI is about creating plausible sounding sentences.
There is no concept of "true", so no fact-checking or "sanity check". Proceed accordingly.
