This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they will not do the right thing. So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.

How are you sure of the correctness of the model's answers? If I tell you the moon is 69.420 toothpicks away from earth, are you going to believe me?

Sure maybe it's wrong, but seems close enough to me.

The distance from Earth to the Moon is approximately 384,400 kilometers, which is about 9,760,000,000 toothpicks laid end to end.

You're right about Google being trash at answering that.

It just completely ignores the question.
