A Reddit user posted a screenshot of Google’s AI Overview mangling a Sahara Desert answer: it called the desert the world’s largest “hot britannica” and said it touches “ten countries kids plus Western kids.”
One commenter suggested the wording may have come from Encyclopedia Britannica Kids being cited as a source, and said source names sometimes appear inside AI Overview answers. The thread did not verify that explanation.
