OpenAI Reveals AI-Powered Search Engine, Which Instantly Makes Factual Mistake in Demo

Quick Summary:

Google's "AI Overview" and Perplexity's "Answer Engine" have been found to confidently spew inaccuracies — or even unprompted fairytales about glowing mushrooms — in their responses.

If AI companies might learn anything from the news publishers with which they're looking to ink data licensing deals, it's that fact-checking before publishing is generally good practice.

But as far as searches go, compiling a list of music festivals to take place in Boone, a relatively small mountain town with a population below 20,000 people, is a pretty small-potatoes query.
