This is why local AI is so important
How do you make sure that the model you run locally is not tainted? Is there even a way to confirm this without providing the complete training set?
Does nobody talk abot the elephant in the room? Will the answers the AI gives also be influenced by Googles customers?
That will be fun because it's illegal to accept money to promote a product without indication that you have done so. The FTC requires "clear and conspicuous disclosure" for such endorsements.

Block the AI overviews with extensions like https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-over... or use a userscript to do the same.
