Google AI Overviews answer the wrong question and bury the real answer
Pain point
Users get confidently wrong/irrelevant AI summaries and still leave without the answer they searched for. Top comment is literally "Did you ever find out how?" — the information need went **unmet**.
Signal
Strong post (~19.7K) and the #1 comment at 3,896 is an unresolved query. Supporting comments (62, 33) show inconsistency across users. Recurring cultural complaint, though only one thread here.
Opportunity
Narrow, not broad — a browser extension that (a) one-click collapses/hides AI Overviews and (b) lets users report+share wrong overviews to a public "AI Overview Hall of Shame" dataset. Monetize via a paid pro tier or sell the aggregated hallucination dataset to AI-eval companies. Feasibility: extension is quick; the dataset is the durable asset.
