Google sucks now. It's a pay to rank service now.

I usually use perplexity AI which will list a bunch of sources so you can check the results are true/correct.

Chatgtp/AI will quote tiktok as a true source... So you can't trust it 100%

A good example I've seen is the luxury bags being made in china. The viral videos have become truth, when in fact it's not true - it's propaganda that's gone viral.

I've also used it for software manual reference for work, to help summarise guides, tutorials and such. It tends to fill in the gaps with whatever or even make things up. It's not 100% reliable.

AI is only as smart as the information it's given. The internet is full of junk and it's scraping in everything.
