I honestly worry what the consequences of this, and other "AI overviews" on places like Facebook and Quora, will be, for impressionable young people, if these "tech companies" continue to be able to make them virtually impossible to opt out of...
It's like (going off on a tangent here) the "reviewers" who are busily claiming that Cynthia Erivo is "perfect" for Wicked despite being probably the ugliest woman ever in a musical lead role, and the fact that she has continuously insulted everyone from White British men, to entire British cities, to even their precious protected group of autistic black women (despite being Black herself)...
It's amusing to watch the whole thing implode. They literally couldn't have found a more ugly person, inside and out, and yet almost every review is glowing, lol...
Though that's not AI. That's just what passes for "journalism", these days...
The movie does also feature a disabled black woman (not sure if she's gay), in a role that has previously universally been played by an able-bodied white girl, so no wonder they love it so much, lol...
Yeah, I've had similar experiences with younger classmates at Uni, and this was before AI overview was a thing...
It's been a year and a bit. From what I gathered talking to a Scottish student earlier this year (also female, so there's a pattern, arguably) it's only gotten worse since that time...
On that note, my Uni no longer discourages either generative AI or Wikipedia as a source, when it comes to essay-writing...
Which is... Deeply concerning, IMO.
I hate to think what it is like in corporate-land, these days...

Genuinely crazy how fast this has all happened...

AI passes for journalism these days. Practically everyone writes using AI, more or less.
I do some work with a kid in our respective home country and see him use google quite a bit.
He searches for something and copy pastes what gemini provides and doesn't really seem aware that there are actual websites below that.
