Navigating AI Chaos: A Cautionary Tale for Tech Enthusiasts
Six months ago, I faced an unexpected challenge: a wave of urgent support tickets from angry customers seeking refunds. The catch? They weren’t even our customers.
- The Problem: Confusion stemmed from a major mix-up with another company’s brand. Our dark green logo clashed with their vibrant pink and yellow identity.
- The Solution: I created a Reddit post and an Intercom snippet to redirect traffic properly. However, it wasn’t until a customer presented a Google AI Overview that the issue’s root became clear—Google incorrectly listed our support email as theirs.
This confusion resulted in:
- Frustrated customers
- Unnecessary stress
- Valuable insights about AI inaccuracies
Interestingly, I discovered that Google AI’s behavior varies by region.
