"Sure, that's the goal. But it's not like this is an unreasonable thing to get wrong on Google's part. It's hard, this is not like they're failing at easy tasks here."
Should unreasonable trump acceptable? If you fail at something then should you do it?
An uncharitable interpretation seems to allow it is acceptable to imply someone is dead because an algorithmic process is hard ... lol ... l8ers.
At which point is disinformation acceptable?

So we shouldn't use AI at all because it's often inaccurate? I think it's fine as long as it's made clear that it's not totally reliable, both in widespread public knowledge and in UI disclaimers.

I reckon it's reasonable to say we shouldn't use AI (LLMs) in places where we're looking for accurate information, yeah. Expectations for accuracy are higher in a seemingly curated summary.

Who would it be "curated" by if not AI?
Any form of auto-generated summary online is from AI

We don't need auto summaries if they're not actually correct.
It's not a choice between AI or not AI, it's a choice between summaries or no summaries

People seem to like "mostly correct" summaries though, like most other things AI
Sure, that's the goal. But it's not like this is an unreasonable thing to get wrong on Google's part. It's hard, this is not like they're failing at easy tasks here.
