Google’s AI is sometimes confused if 2027 is next year.

As noted on Bluesky, if you search “is it 2027 next year,” Google’s AI Overviews occasionally state that 2027 is two years from now. But this apparently isn’t even a new issue: when I got AI Overviews to mess up, it cited old Instagram and Reddit posts making fun of wrong responses to the same query.

By the way, Google still isn’t showing an AI Overview when you search “disregard.” AI Overviews are going just great!

Here’s the Instagram post that Google is sourcing from.
