"I can see that Google's AI Overviews, for as much as I goofed on them for being clumsy and bad, are having the last laugh. This realization comes after, in 2024, I totally dunked on Google after its AI told me to use glue to help cheese stick to pizza. So, in a moment of internet infamy, I did just that: I made my glue pizza, and even ate a piece."
"Google AI Overviews launched in the spring of 2024, and immediately, people noticed they often, uh, sucked. The answers they gave were full of absurd inaccuracies. One example that went viral on social media was its answer for how to stop the cheese from sliding off your pizza - Google AI suggested adding glue to the sauce, which it seemed to have lifted from a joke on Reddit."
Google's AI Overviews launched in spring 2024 and initially produced frequent, obvious inaccuracies. Early outputs included absurd recommendations, such as suggesting glue be added to pizza sauce to keep cheese from sliding off. A user actually followed that instruction, made and ate a glue pizza. Over the following year the Overviews improved substantially, and by the end of 2025 many users prefer the AI answer over clicking links. That shift reduces traffic to traditional websites. Persistent quirks remained, such as producing nonsense phrases, but overall reliability and everyday usability increased, prompting regular use.
