> mixes in the name of a competitor

If I were your competitor and saw that your listing includes my business name but your contact info, you might be getting a letter from my lawyer. Have you let Google know they're putting you at legal risk?

Google isn't. A recent court decision in Germany laid the responsibility for the output of Google's 'AI' software, running on Google's machines, and conflating companies in pretty much this manner, squarely on Google's own shoulders.

"This overview was generated with the help of AI. It's supported by info from across the web and Google's Knowledge Graph, a collection of info about people, places and things. Generative AI is a work in progress and info quality may vary."

Google puts this up in their overview to cover that. And there is no basis for you to sue the company for something google did, you'll be laughed out of the lawyer's office. If you want to sue google for it, sure go ahead see what happens

Your lawyer can send all the letters they want; I have zero control over information or misinformation in Google's AI mode.
