However, if this error percentage is extrapolated to all search queries, Google produces tens of millions of incorrect answers daily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The report provides examples of the algorithm&#8217;s failures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bob Marley case:<\/strong> The AI referenced three pages, two of which did not contain dates, and the third (Wikipedia) had conflicting data &#8211; Google confidently chose the wrong year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yo-Yo Ma case:<\/strong> Referring to the website of the Classical Music Hall of Fame, the AI simultaneously claimed that such a cellist &#8220;does not exist.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Google&#8217;s reaction: &#8220;We see serious gaps&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The tech giant sharply criticized the analysis results.
