One big problem is that we've build search for humans, more specifically to advertise to them.

AI doesn't need a human search, it needs a "fact database" that can pull short factoids with a truth value, which could be a distribution based on human input. So for example, you might have the factoid "Donald Trump incited insurrection on January 6th" with a score of 0.8 (out of 1) with a 0.3 variance since people either tend to absolutely believe it or disbelieve it, with more people on the believing side.

Beyond that AI needs a "logical tools" database with short examples of their use that it can pull from for any given problem.
