It is a worry that results like this are appearing in Google. These will really devalue Google's Search results and erode the trust in what has been a very strong brand.

This one is obvious but there may be many results, where people read the Featured Snippet and don't investigate the link, that are a lot more subtle but wrong. This is a very worrying trend.


The website the featured snippet comes from has a banner at the top stating it is for sale. The page is an interaction between a human asking "did you know there is no country in Africa that starts with K?" and a Chat GPT response that Google has shown as the featured snippet and that is extremely incorrect.

@simoncox Oh my! Yet another proof that artificial "intelligence" is not to be trusted.

@simoncox @tedel Except that the true information we're trying our best to make visible to those audiences is pushed down the page by AI results 😩
