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 should have mentioned, where I got this from. I’m not an AI researcher myself - so AINAAIR. I’m referencing this youtube video from TheMorpheus (News and Informations/Tutorials about various IT stuff, including AI research)(Video is in german). For example the diagram at 3:00.
