It's actively destroying their search ability as well.

My 15 year old son got a lesson in not trusting Google search yesterday. He wanted pizza for dinner so I had him call a chain and order it. So he hit the call button on the AI bullshit section and ordered it.

When we got there we found out that every phone number listed on the summary was scrambled. He ordered a pizza at a place 150 miles away.

When you clicked into the webpage or maps the numbers were right. On the AI summary, it was all screwed up.
