Google’s “AI overview”, pointlessly appended to their usual weather forecast for my suburb:

“The weather in XXX is currently sunny with a temperature of about 17° C ... ”

The forecast already states the current temperature, but no, it is not “currently sunny” as it’s 10:23 pm.

The forecast by itself is perfectly understandable. It does not need a summary, an overview, an interpretation, a Reader’s Digest Condensed Version.

FFS, Google, is this what you’re building new data centres and buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to do?
