Everybody with some sense knows AI's can excrete total hogwash and it's answers need to be fact checked down to the most minute detail. Some people take what they get from AI's as gospel anyway, but that is a them problem.

The vast majority of people have less than zero idea of what an AI chatbot is. They're purposefully marketed to ensure it makes as little sense as possible to anyone who doesn't do a good bit of research.

People hear or read 'artificial intelligence', and picture the batcomputer or C3-P0, which were, for the most part, always 100% correct.

But Google a: calls these summaries, and b: presents them as the top search result.

Also c: gives it a colorful, more pleasant looking window to manipulate users into subconsciously prioritizing it over 'plain, ugly' results below.
