NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — In late spring of 1998, an East Nashville resident was walking his dog when he discovered a man with a gunshot wound to his chest in a nearby driveway.

The man, identified as Ricky Rydell Young, died at the age of 36.

There were no witnesses to his murder, according to Metro Nashville police, and the trail went cold.

Google is embarrassed about its AI Overviews, too. Google -- a company whose name is synonymous with searching the web -- whose brand focuses on "organizing the world's information" and putting it at user's fingertips -- actually wrote in a blog post that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." The admission of failure, penned by Google VP and Head of Search Liz Reid, seems a testimony as to how the drive to mash AI technology into everything has now somehow made Google Search worse.
