Either way the point still stands.

What point?

I had someone correct me with a misconception about something because he googled it and thats what it said in the answer box

Oh, honey. You must be new here. Googling something, taking the first answer that fits your needs, doing zero follow up, and posting it confidently is nothing new. That has been happening for the last few decades.

It's getting increasingly difficult to rely on search results especially when google synthesizes them into questions and answers with little context

In what way? Like always, I have had to do a little critical thinking to gain anything out of my google searches. But now, sometimes the answer is right there. In what world is that a bad thing?

But you might just say "hurry durr it give me answer, therefore correct". Again, yes, that has always been the case. People will use any tools available to them to support their point. If a new tool has less than a 100% success rate, I don't see that as a problem.
