Sundar Pichai admits Google Search is more accurate than Gemini, says, “The current state of the art AI technology is prone to some errors”

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has spoken openly about the flaws in Google Gemini & other AI systems, explaining that they still produce major mistakes even as the technology improves. 

In a recent interview, a BBC interviewer pointed out well-known errors like Google Gemini suggesting “glue as a pizza ingredient” or wrongly naming a sitting senator in a serious claim showing why users should not fully rely on AI for facts.

Sundar Pichai Says Google Gemini Still Gets Things Wrong

Sundar Pichai explained that Gemini works by trying to guess what comes next in a response. This method can lead to wrong or risky answers. 

He said, “These AI models are predicting what’s next. And they are prone to errors.”

The interviewer brought up the false claim about a senator. Pichai agreed the mistake was serious and replied, “This is bad, isn’t it?”

Pichai also noted that Google continues to put in careful work to share solid and clear information through tools like Google Search. 

He said, “We give as accurate information as possible, but the current state of the art AI technology is prone to some errors.”

He added that this is one reason many people still depend on Google Search when they want reliable facts rather than creative output.

How Users Should Work With Google Gemini According to Pichai

Pichai said Google Gemini can still be extremely helpful for creative writing, idea building, and other tasks that do not rely on strict accuracy. He stressed that people must understand the limits of the tool. 

He said, “You have to learn to use these tools for what they are good at and not blindly trust everything they say.”

His message is clear. Gemini can support users in writing and planning, but it should not be used as a perfect source of truth. Google will continue improving it, but for now users need to stay aware, think carefully about the answers they receive, and double check important information.

Pichai’s remarks serve as a reminder that while Gemini is powerful and useful, it still needs careful and thoughtful use. The tool can help with many tasks, but it is not meant to replace strong judgment or trusted sources when accuracy matters.
