Personally I think until we trust AI agents to get the _best_ answer for us we’ll still need manually checking.

For example in the TripAdvisor example, would you really trust that OpenAI has gotten you the best answer? Personally I wouldn’t.

How certain are you that the source itself is trustworthy? Tripadvisor, yelp, and amazon are filled with fake/paid reviews along with the absence of negative reviews which premium members have paid to remove.

My thoughts exactly. Most here will remember accusations that Yelp was taking down negative reviews (were there even suggestions of payola?)

I feel sometimes people grossly overestimate how valuable the web really is. Or at least the majority of it. Wikipedia, archive.org, or my guilty pleasure, YouTube — only a handful of sites really stand out for me. If the rest crashed and burned I'd probably bicycle more.
