Google appears to have faked Gemini AI output in a Super Bowl commercial.

The ad shows a business owner using AI to write a website description.

The description portrayed as written by AI has been on the web since August 2020 .

Google didn't launch Gemini until 2023 , meaning Gemini couldn’t have generated the description in the commercial.

Google later edited the commercial to take out the incorrect information.
