'Google says I'm a dead physicist': is the biggest search engine broken?

So we shouldn't use AI at all because it's often inaccurate? I think it's fine as long as it's made clear that it's not totally reliable, both in widespread public knowledge and in UI disclaimers.

I reckon it's reasonable to say we shouldn't use AI (LLMs) in places where we're looking for accurate information, yeah. Expectations for accuracy are higher in a seemingly curated summary.

Who would it be "curated" by if not AI?

Any form of auto-generated summary online is from AI

We don't need auto summaries if they're not actually correct. It's not a choice between AI or not AI, it's a choice between summaries or no summaries

People seem to like "mostly correct" summaries though, like most other things AI

Preferably not, yeah.
