Every day now, I see several screenshots on X of embarrassing and sometimes harmful AI Overviews within the Google Search results interface. I mean, we covered the one that recommends you drink urine, but I can’t cover each and every one I see – there are just too many.
In fact, I said yesterday that someone should create a directory of them on a domain like GoogleAIOverviewsGoneWild.com or something like that. When I said that, I was told about a new account on X to follow @Goog_Enough. It is sharing funny, often embarrassing, and sometimes harmful examples of AI Overviews.
For anyone who wants to follow these, make sure to check out that account. I’ll embed a few that the account posted recently that caught my eye:

That is just a sampling and if you find some, and post it on X, make sure to use #googenough tag.
I encourage you to apply the #googenough tag your suboptimal Google search results.
If you do, it’ll be easy for the @Goog_Enough account to collect and amplify these SERPs and AI Overviews.
I do not run that account. I don’t have the time. But I know who does and endorse it. https://t.co/vSDMMYNEyw
