Reading this I assumed it was down to the AI confusing two different Benn Jordans, but nope, the guy who actually published that video is called Ryan McBeth. How does that even happen?

The model that google is using to handle requests in their search page is probably dumber than the other ones for cost savings. Not sure if this would be a smart move, as search with ads is their flagship product. It would be better having no ai in search at all.

The video likely mentioned Jordan it’s a country near Israel. It’s likely to be mentioned and there you go linked.

Apparently Ryan’s video appears first above Benn’s on YouTube when searched and the ai just takes the yt search results as fact without checking the channel names
