I've had the same bad experience with search as you've had, but my conclusion was that AI tools are just going to replace "using a search engine" in the near future. Google is more and more unusable to me.
That doesn't exactly solve the authoritative problem, but theoretically it makes it more centralized (one AI company vs. innumerable websites.)
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI find AI to be as bad as search engines, except they will try to pass the wrong answer off as the correct one
- gibbitz 2y agoWhat worries me is as soon as we accept AI results with no fact checking (or ignore it) they will become the means to directly manipulate people without any recourse for judgement about veracity. Like phishing emails with perfect spelling and well formatted HTML.
- keiferski 2y agoOn the one hand this is definitely a potential issue. On the other hand I’m not sure how the current state of the web is really any different. We just rely on Google or whatever search engine to “fact check.”
