We have all seen AI-based searches available on the web like Copilot, Perplexity, DuckAssist etc, which scour the web for information, present them in a summarized form, and also cite sources in support of the summary.
But how do they know which sources are legitimate and which are simple BS ? Do they exercise judgement while crawling, or do they have some kind of filter list around the “trustworthyness” of various web sources ?
I don’t think they do. Probably just go for a popular opinion
I’ve had AI flat out lie to me before. Or get confused. Once told me that King Charles III married Queen Camilla in 1974.
I don’t use Google, but perhapas I should? You could make a bingo game out of finding funny summaries like that one.
