An anecdotal example that I ran into just now, where I was searching for a larger quote from a Terry Pratchett book and was given a completely nonsensical interpretation.<p>Query: small-gods vorbis &quot;things like himself&quot;<p>Google AI Overview: In Terry Pratchett&#x27;s &quot;Small Gods,&quot; when referring to &quot;things like himself,&quot; Vorbis, the small god of nastiness, is essentially saying that he corrupts people [...]<p>I fear the future where this somehow goes into a positive feedback loop of nonsense.
