Kind of not surprising with the ruling a year or so ago, where Air Canada had to follow through on what its AI chatbot had told a customer.

Well, and I guess, due to basic logic. Any other webpage has to take responsibility for the content they publish, whether it is written by a human or by an LLM. There's no good reason why Google should be treated differently here.

Still an interesting development, though. There's no guaranteed way to make an LLM not say something. I guess, what they could do, is to run a regular script over the output before it's displayed and then, for example, just not display anything, if those publishers' names show up in the output.
