Same here, people use it like google for searching answers. It‘s a shortcut for them to not have to screen results and reason about them.

Doesn’t matter. If they feel “good enough” that’s already “good enough”. Super majority of the world doesn’t revolve around truth seeking, fact -checking or curiosity.
