I think this is a situation that is a perfect example of how AI hallucinations/lack of accuracy could significantly impact our lives going forward.
This has been a Google problem for decades.
I used to run a real estate forum. Someone once wrote a message along the lines of "Joe is a really great real estate agent, but Frank is a total scumbag. Stole all my money."
When people would Google Joe, my forum was the first result. And the snippet Google made from the content was "Joe... is a total scumbag. Stole all my money."
I found out about it when Joe lawyered up. That was a fun six months.
Sorry but I don’t see how what you mention is a problem. A search engine is just surfacing the content you have in your site. That is very different from it making stuff up.
