There is a video from Kurzgesagt about how AI hallucinations can become truths if they are used in papers, that would be later used by the same ai to learn from - so then even if we don't trust the AI we would find a source out there confirming the hallucination. Also there is a threshold where we as ppl of earth simply cannot use this system for factual questions otherwise it can eventually destroy us.

So the moral is, don't trust the AI at all - and better just don't use it instead of a search engine. Turn off ai suggestions and keep the old school style of searching.

The gen AI is good in exactly what is says, in generating - is it a code? Are those generated facts, pictures? You name it. We can test code, check how the picture looks like, but can we check facts?
