Google display wrong flags for world cup 2026

Noticeably absent from the possible errors that have led to this - it was generated by AI and the AI hallucinated wrong flags.

In fact if this was the cause it totally highlights the benefit of not using AI, because of course the AI hallucinated and the only way to fix it is to either keep trying to use AI to do it, or do it by hand, or using one of the methodologies already mentioned which if those were the cause of the error would be an easily findable and fixable bug.

I doubt the results are AI-generated

		why? >In the expanded match list, several countries are shown with incorrect flags. The errors are not subtle — they are completely different flags from entirely different countries. Why can this not be an AI mistake as opposed to one of the other mistakes?

This is like saying scissors can poke you, so don't use scissors.

		It's more like saying that electric scissors (look it up) can randomly stab blades out of the handle at you and sometimes it's easier and faster to use regular scissors and avoid dealing with random stabbing.

		No it's like saying scissors poke so don't use them to hold up an inflated balloon.

I couldn't reproduce this issue so maybe they have fixed it.

On a related note, could you include screenshots in the post?

		Even if the bug is still there, this kind of thing is so A/B tested or dependent on other variables that nothing is going to be reproducible on our end
