I think I’ve had such a bad experience with openAIs charGPT answering a question falsely and sounding very convincing that I skip the AI overview or double check to confirm it’s correct. Am I mad?
I already regularly am helping someone with something, they'll Google it at the same time as me and they'll authoritatively regurgitate the AI summary. More often than not, it's been misleading, or a partial answer to the point of being detrimental.
I get it though. I sort of am the news guy of my family and they constantly ask me where I go for news. It's an impossible answer. I grew up with the internet in it's early days, using it for policy debate research. It's a non-precise method of consuming various sources, judging their answers on plausibility and commonalities, and a healthy dose of constant skepticism.
But people don't want that. They want the answer spoodfed to them.
