- Google Search’s AI Overview previously gave confident but wrong answers for the simple search query “Is it 2025?”. This has now been fixed, and AI Overview gives the right answer.
- More importantly, Google no longer hides the disclaimer about possible mistakes in the AI Overview answer, which helps remind users to double-check results.
- Users can continue to add “-ai” to searches to turn off the AI Overview results for a cleaner, more traditional Google Search experience.
Two days ago, we at Android Authority were the first to report on an embarrassing AI Overview gaffe where Google Search would incorrectly but confidently give the wrong answer for the simple query “Is it 2025?”. At the time of reporting, we had tried multiple times to get the correct answer, but Google Search would fail differently, but fail nonetheless. Thankfully, it seems Google has now fixed the answer, as AI Overview now correctly responds that it indeed is 2025.
