Social media users have shared other examples of AI Overviews generating inaccurate responses, including when it said a "dog has played in the NHL."

I wonder how they got that wrong?

The NHL is set to celebrate the playoff season with a new tradition: the Stanley Pup.

The hockey league is partnering with the nonprofit Petco Love to air the one-hour special next month, when some very talented ice dogs will get a chance to rollick around the rink.

Each of the NHL’s 32 teams will have its own canine representative, but only the pups representing the 16 Stanley Cup Playoff contenders will get a chance to show off their skills.

Many of the hockey hounds hitting the ice will also be available for adoption from shelters or rescue groups in their respective cities.
