The company's previous "fiasco" with suggesting people eat rocks for minerals and put glue in their pizza highlights the issue of relying on internet sources without critically evaluating information. As AI becomes more integrated into internet searches, there is a risk that bad information will be disseminated and taken as fact, leading to a "wonky, kinda garbage-y, slop-filled" online environment. Google's AI is already changing lives, and experts warn that while it will improve over time, the current phase of its development brings growing pains that must be endured.

AI is a key factor in this process, enabling more precise user needs and becoming a "game-changer" in design philosophy. The human element remains central, with personalization being crucial to make AI tools sound less generic. Authenticity is also important, as the platform learns over time while keeping humans in the loop.
