Does Google Stretch the Truth, You Know, Like Lie?
April 28, 2026
The Cool Down says that “Google AI Is Lying To Users At A Virtually Unprecedented Scale, Report Says. The Arnold IT team is horrified. Google? Outputting falsehoods? We were surprised at the assertion. The cited article suggests that Google’s automatic AI answers that appear at the top of all search results and everyone has to use because Mama Google knows exactly what everyone wants sort of like God, right. The cited sources says that Google is in fabrication land, a Disneyland type of world that looks real but is just a bunch of mechanical gears, hidden tunnels, and Mouseketeer wannabes.
The AI intelligence startup Oumi researched Google’s responses and found that they’re correct 91% of the time. That sounds good, but Google handles 5 trillion searches a year. I am not a mathy type, but this seems to be about one mistake out of 10 outputs. Hey, that is nothing. Look at it this way: Mama Google is right 90 percent of the time. So what if those parenting decisions produce a problem. Look at the upside.
Am I sad that a tool meant to increase human knowledge is delivering incorrect information. No, I am thrilled. Google is leading us to a future based on Silicon Valley philosophical ideas. Google is smart; therefore, its outputs are smart. If you don’t get it, you are a loser.
The write up says:
“Part of the issue lies in how AI systems work. Large language models, such as those behind Google’s summaries, are designed to respond with confidence, even when they’re wrong. Studies have suggested that many users don’t double-check these answers, a tendency known as “cognitive surrender,” wherein people trust authoritative-sounding information without verifying it.”
Then there’s the environmental impact. While new models of AI are more energy efficient and rely on renewables, the current models are already straining critical resources. Two things Google is doing: lying and straining the grid.
Let’s applaud the business approach of the winners at Google. (Can you determine if an AI output is accurate, invented, or an advertisement? Of course not. That’s the reason Google is the leader. You know. A digital god built on advertising, the Clever method, and putting one’s finger on the butcher’s scale.
