Google's AI-Powered Search Summaries Frustrate Users with Inaccuracies and Delays
-
Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) adds an AI-generated summary to search results, but it's frustrating and doesn't work well.
-
SGE takes too long to load and pushes down actual search results, so people don't want to wait for it.
-
The summaries are often inaccurate or miss the point of complex queries. There's also duplicated information.
-
Forcing SGE as the default search experience is too much too soon given its flaws.
-
Google should let users opt out of SGE until it's more reliable and contextual.
