Google simply cannot escape the drama related to its Super Bowl Sunday ad campaign that is supposed to promote its Gemini AI model. What was originally thought to be a bit of hallucinated information from Gemini—which would be bad all on its own—turns out to have not even come from Gemini at all.

Google’s Gemini AI mistakenly claimed Gouda makes up 50-60% of global cheese consumption in a Super Bowl ad After backlash, Google re-edited the ad, blaming inaccurate internet sources rather than AI hallucination The incident highlights ongoing concerns about AI-generated misinformation and the need for better fact-checking
