Not in the case of the google search AI. It quotes directly from unreliable sources.

Exactly, which is why I've objected in the past to calling Google Overview's mistakes "hallucinations." The AI itself is performing correctly, it's giving an accurate overview of the search result it's being told to create an overview for. It's just being fed incorrect information.
