Google made the LLM, it is responsible for the LLMs output. I mean, no, I don’t think some Google employee tuned the LLM to produce output like this, but it doesn’t matter. They are still responsible.

The HN headline I commented on was "Turns out Google made up an elaborate story about me". Someone (admin?) then added "AI Overview". My comment doesn't apply to the current headline. I got what I wanted.

Yes, and I replied when it was still the original headline. I think they’re both appropriate headlines.
