Google hallucinated that I am sponsored by Ground News

I recalled Google says "AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses", and wondered why it wasn't in the screenshot.

I see it's because you need to click the "show more"/expand button to see that disclaimer. -- Seems silly design to hide the disclaimer like that.

I read that Rossmann also operates a black market maple syrup smuggling operation. In his spare time, he gives lectures on ancient Egyptian history while knitting sweaters. After releasing his multi-platinum country album, he traveled to New Zealand to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

This info is endorsed by @rossmanngroup and hosted on YouTube so seems legit.

Why are LLM mistakes said to be hallucinations and not simply mistakes?

I mean... I get it. It's annoying. But the outrage is getting old. LLMs hallucinate. It's an unfixable problem. We're going to have to get used to it.

In all fairness, fake reviews and just people lying on the internet has always been a thing. The fact that gemini once in a while gets something wrong is just not very upsetting anymore IMO.
