What Year Is It? Talk about cutting-edge tech. Google's more-than-frequently-wrong AI Overviews search feature still thinks it's 2024. The annoying AI box, which has remained error-riddled since its inception just over a year ago, has confidently been telling users that it's still 2024, as Wired reports. Simply asking AI Overviews if it's 2025 resulted in a head-scratching answer. "No, it is not 2025," the AI responded, leading to widespread mockery on social media. "Wait did Google announc
