Google AI Mode makes mistakes: what to check after an answer
A Google AI Mode answer can be useful, polished, and still contain a decisive error.
What Makes Mistakes changes on Google AI Mode
Makes Mistakes rewrites the AI Mode footer disclaimer when its stable support-link structure appears and adds a button beside the plain-text query composer after a completed answer.
The content script is limited to the supported google.com/search page and targets interface elements rather than globally replacing words in your conversation.
What the Google AI Mode warning means
An AI answer embedded in search can still omit, combine, or misstate what the linked pages say. The presence of search results makes evidence easier to inspect, not automatically correct.
The warning should change how you use the response, not force you to reject it. Check the claims whose failure would change a decision, and use evidence appropriate to the consequence.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can Google AI Mode be confidently wrong?
Yes. Fluent and confident language is not evidence. Verify important specific claims against reliable current sources.
Does Makes Mistakes fact-check Google AI Mode?
No. It makes the disclaimer more direct and inserts a re-check prompt after an answer. The source verification remains a separate step.
Does the extension send my Google AI Mode chat anywhere?
No. The extension has no analytics, telemetry, account, or remote endpoint for conversation processing.
