>And their AI answered me and gave me an enthusiastic and utterly useless paragraph about how some holidays are sometimes on mondays.

The AI summaries are almost universally wrong or incomplete in an important way for everything I've search for lately. It's honestly devaluing the site in ways that might be hard to recover from.

I think AI capabilities perception in general is being greatly damaged by the Google search AI summary. Whatever model they use is so cheap and crappy, yet I can't opt out of it or even get my eyes to skip the box... Claude or Perplexity or whatever can comfortably and concisely answer questions about Auckland holidays without hallucinating, yet the Google search AI thinks you can eat rocks and put glue on pizza, and I see people trot similar examples out all the time to prove that "AI is dumb".
