This sounds sane to me. I don't think people in general have a good understanding of how these generative AI products produce their answers, and I think many would assume hallucinated information to be true.

This is bad in all cases, but certainly misinformation in the democratic process is up there with the worst. Of course, perhaps more importantly for Google, it's a PR disaster waiting to happen when Gemini starts touting incorrect information seemingly supporting one political party or another.

So many commenters saying, "misinformation is bad, it needs to go!"

Some of the greatest threats we've seen in the past few years have been from politicians claiming things were misinformation that were not. How do you propose we deal with that?
