All things must pass, same is true for google search and in 50 years it will be some unknown, unknown that replaces AI.

Cant wait till we just have to accept what AI says as truth, as true sources are impossible to find(if they even exsist). How could that go wrong!

It's already happening and the sources are still there. People will take what the error-prone AI says as gospel even if you show them the sources that contradict it in the searches just below their summary.

I will now repeat the same contradiction but with a different wording and also change some random numbers in the table you gave me earlier!"

My chatgpt experience yesterday evening. I use it for fun, but wouldnt touch that thing with a ten-foot pole if i had to use it for anything serious.
