The AI answer dominates the page, and is usually wrong, so it's just a waste of the most valuable space on the page.

I started noticing that for a lot of niche questions, AI overview often uses things like Reddit comments as the source, which are often partially or completely wrong. Then it gets reformulated with the typical confidence of an LLM.

Very scary because at the same time I notice people taking the AI overview answers as truth.

The web search gives the impression that it's grounding its answers, but if you ask it for something new or non-existent it'll still make shit up.
