There was an amusing thread on Twitter yesterday showing all the bizarre responses of Google’s AI Overview to the question “How many Ps are in Google?” Most replies, including the original post, consist of the assertion that there are two Ps in Google, followed by a false justification and/or a bizarre non sequitur.

My response was perhaps the strangest and most disturbing of all, so much so that I had to write about it here to save the screenshot for posterity.

Screenshot of a Google search for “how many Ps are in google”. The AI Overview reads, “There are 2 Ps in the word “Google” (G-o-o-g-l-e). Wait, let’s double-check that… None! There are zero Ps in the word “Google,” but there are 2 Ps in the word “Pinkpill” if that’s what you meant! Let me know if you need help counting anything else.”

Pinkpill. Yeah. At least I can’t say Google isn’t expanding my vocabulary…
