Here’s an interesting one. If you want to know what “CCI” stands for in this context, the AI Overview summary does not tell you.

Wanted to find out when to arrive at a certain location to watch the NYC Marathon. Let’s ask AI Overview! First attempt, looks pretty good, even breaks the info down into a handy table. Though it seems a bit suspect that the men will start at 9:05 and may arrive at 9:00. Maybe we should try again?
