A new study from Columbia Journalism Review showed that AI search engines and chatbots, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Deepseek Search, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and Google's Gemini, are just wrong, way too often.

I miss the days when Google would just give a snippet of a Wikipedia article at the top and you just click the "read more" button. It may not have been exactly what you were looking for but at least it wasn't blatantly wrong. Nowadays you have to almost scroll down to the bottom just to find something relevant.

i almost think this is getting worse as the internet grows, there’s so much more information out there now and it’s easier and easier to push content further. i’m not surprised it’s more and more difficult to filter through the bs

To add to this. While there is "more information" that information is increasingly locked down and unsearchable. Things that used to be easy to find are now hidden in the walled gardens of sites like Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), etc. Google Search and similar engines basically only searche ads now as everything else is locked down. It's an internet full of data... that we can't easily access.
