Only if your philosophy equates AI hallucinations with actual truths.
EDIT, to add a trivial example of how shitty "AI" often is:
I just searched, in Google Shopping, for "shattered sword wwii midway". While watching, in other browser tabs, two different YouTube (also Google) videos about WWII and the Battle of Midway.
Anything remotely resembling "intelligence" should have been able to figure out that I wanted "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway" by Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully - right? Especially since "Jon Parshall" was on-screen and labeled in one of the videos, while the host praised his and Tony's book.
Reality: Of Google Shopping's 6 "Researched With AI" recommendations, 3 were swords & sorcery fantasy novels. Even though Google "knows" I'm 100X more interested in history / WWII / navies than I am in fantasy novels.
Vs.: Without having my browser history, or my YouTube history, or the added " wwii midway" in the search string, the simplistic search function on my little local book store's web site did a better job of figuring out what I wanted to see.
