The inherent problem with chat bots is you can't investigate why they're telling you something. When I search Google, I'm critically evaluating the information, and it's frustrating when the results it gives are low-accuracy. If I ask a chat bot a question, what would I do with the answer if it might be wrong? There's no context for me to evaluate.

You can ask it to explain its reasoning. And it's even more useful if you ask it to show its reasoning when you ask a question, as it improves the answer.

True. Though, I said investigate, not interrogate. In the context of the pre-bias example I was responding to, it's fine to integrate it into a search engine to assist interpreting queries and improving search results, but it shouldn't be talking back at you in the first place. The machine manipulation of information is inappropriate.
