Google’s AI search is so broken it can ‘disregard’ what you’re looking for

谷歌的 AI 搜索功能故障频出,甚至会“无视”你的搜索意图

Google’s AI Overviews are running into an interesting problem right now. Earlier on Friday, if you searched for the term “disregard,” the AI Overview section would include a response like what you’d see from a more traditional AI chatbot instead of the typical AI summary, as spotted on X. As you can see in the image at the top of this story, I got an AI Overview response that said, “Got it. If you need anything else or have a new question later, just let me know!”

谷歌的 AI 概览(AI Overviews)功能目前正陷入一个有趣的困境。周五早些时候,据 X 平台上的用户发现,如果你搜索“disregard”(无视/不理会)这个词,AI 概览部分给出的回复更像是一个传统的 AI 聊天机器人,而非典型的 AI 摘要。正如本文顶部的图片所示,我收到的 AI 概览回复是:“明白了。如果您还需要其他帮助或稍后有新问题,请随时告诉我!”

As of Friday afternoon, however, Google isn’t showing an AI Overview for the term “disregard” at all — instead, it shows a list of news stories about the issue first. Google hasn’t replied to our requests for comment.

然而,截至周五下午,谷歌已不再针对“disregard”一词显示 AI 概览,取而代之的是一连串关于此问题的相关新闻报道。谷歌尚未回复我们的置评请求。

AI Overviews haven’t just been tripping up over the word “disregard.” When searching for “ignore,” Google’s AI Overview section showed the following message to a Verge colleague: “Message received! I’m here and ready to help. What would you like to focus on today? Just let me know if there’s a specific topic, task, or question you’d like to explore.”

AI 概览出现问题的词汇并不止“disregard”这一个。当搜索“ignore”(忽略)时,谷歌的 AI 概览部分向我的一位《The Verge》同事显示了以下信息:“收到消息!我在这里随时准备为您提供帮助。您今天想关注什么?如果您有想要探讨的特定主题、任务或问题,请随时告诉我。”

When they searched “skip,” the AI Overview section said: “It looks like your message was just a test or a typo! Feel free to ask a question, share a prompt, or let me know how I can help you with your tasks today. I’m ready whenever you are!”

当他们搜索“skip”(跳过)时,AI 概览部分则显示:“看起来您的消息只是一个测试或输入错误!请随时提问、分享提示词,或者告诉我今天我能如何协助您完成任务。我随时准备着!”

As of Friday afternoon, Google is still showing me AI Overviews with broken responses when I search for “ignore” and “skip.”

截至周五下午,当我搜索“ignore”和“skip”时,谷歌依然会显示这些故障的 AI 概览回复。

As funny as this all is, it’s almost certainly just some kind of bug — I expect Google will fix it soon enough. Maybe Google Search itself is tired after everything that happened at Google I/O.

尽管这一切看起来很滑稽,但这几乎可以肯定只是一种程序错误——我预计谷歌很快就会修复它。也许是经历了 Google I/O 大会的一系列忙碌后,谷歌搜索本身也感到疲惫了吧。
