Each one of those cards is associated with a source that you can go to directly. Google itself isn't "learning" what a dog is and telling you with authority. Instead, it's saying "Here's a bunch of basic stuff about dogs I pulled verbatim from this, this, and this site."
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoNo, Google is telling me with authority. The UI calls it a "knowledge panel", and the "About this result" descriptor tells me that "This content comes from the Knowledge Graph, Google's collection of information about people, places, and things". Some of it has links to other sites embedded, but multiple displayed components, such as the lifespan and gestation period, have no non-Google source whatsoever associated with them.

Then those panels fall victim to exactly the same issue that AI is having today. When you hide your sources, you are assuming responsibility for accuracy. You better be right, because the user has no way to judge the quality of your answer.
