  • 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.

Update, May 30, 2025 (11:49 AM ET): A Google spokesperson has shared the following statement with us:

As with all Search features, we rigorously make improvements and use examples like this to update our systems. The vast majority of AI Overviews provide helpful, factual information and we’re actively working on an update to address this type of issue.
