In this case, search engines return various kinds of hallucinated results. In the snow forecast example, we got deliberately fabricated results, one intended to drive ad revenue through shady ads on a fake forecast site, and another intended to trick the user into thinking that the forecast indicates a cold, snowy, winter (the opposite of the actual forecast), seemingly in order to get the user to sign up for unnecessary snow removal services. Other deliberately fabricated results include a site that’s intended to look like an objective review site that’s actually a fake site designed to funnel you into installing a specific ad blocker, where the ad blocker they funnel you to appears to be a scammy one that tries to get you to pay for ad blocking and doesn’t let you unsubscribe, a fake “organic” blog post trying to get you to install a chrome extension that exposes all of your shopping to some service (in many cases, it’s not possible to tell if a blog post is a fake or shill post, but in this case, they hosted the fake blog post on the domain for the product and, although it’s designed to look like there’s an entire blog on the topic, there isn’t — it’s just this one fake blog post), etc.
