Went through five different browsers/OS combinations before I could reproduce this--four would not give me the AI overview. And when I did get it (Safari on Mac), there was a "Simpler" option that was somehow worse? So now search is unreliable and non-deterministic--just awesome work
Screenshot of Google search for sodium bisulfite showing AI overview in Simpler mode. Overview contains information about both sodium bisulfite and sodium bisulfide starting "Sodium bisulfide is a chemical that has many uses", then sources for obtaining sodium bisulfite, then examples for uses that doesn't make clear which chemical it refers to, ending with hazards of sodium bisulfide.
