Google AI search tool reportedly tells users to jump off a bridge and eat rocks

Firm's AI overviews feature has been rolled out to users in US, but many have reported strange responses

Google's new AI overviews feature for search results has reportedly told users who asked questions about depression to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge, recommended glue as a pizza ingredient and has apparently sourced some of its information from the satirical news site the Onion.

Last week, Google announced at its I/O developer conference that the feature would be rolled out to users in the US before other parts of the world by the end of the year. The overview, that appears at the top of search results, is a summary created by its Gemini AI model. Google promoted it as doing the Googling for you".
