Meanwhile, Google AI Overviews are lying about the continuing global
Google Home outage
The outage has continued for hours. And while Google has admitted it
is still in progress, questions about it to Google Search get this
response:
"There is no widespread or global outage currently affecting Google
Home services. Tracking platforms like Downdetector US show normal
operation levels, meaning issues are likely localized to your specific
device, app, or home network."
In fact, Downdetector shows a very impressive big red graphed outage
in progress for Google Home.
Thanks for the misinformation, Google AI Overviews!
