Search engines have been around for almost 30 years now and they do this job better than spicy autocomplete. I type stupid questions into Google all the time and get good answers. The "AI" version of this involves strapping a search engine onto a language model, ostensibly to summarize results, but in practice there are examples of the language model just lying instead of doing the actual search for you.

If you treat a search engine as a language model and vice versa you will run into issues. These issues compound even further for users that decline to scroll down and click the links that search engines return
