    Somehow a homemade problem for Google.

    I never asked them to waste additional resources by injecting my blunt keyword-query into an AI-cluster and guesstimate a well-formed article from that.

    But here I am, with (elder) relatives sending me Google search-results on topics like they are proper articles...

      For quick reference, sometimes it’s pretty good! The problem is that obviously you can’t dedicate a lot of compute or additional tools for checking those answers so most of it can’t really be trusted.

        A quick reference shouldn't require me to have to check the quick reference for hallucinations.
