      Search engines did that decades ago. AI presents it’s results as fact without the ability to provide a source, it’s an aggressively unfriendly interface.

        Oh, they provide sources. At least, some of them do. It’s just that the sources don’t always back them up. It’s going to gin up sources whether it’s correct or not, because that’s what it’s programmed to do.

          And it only makes sense that they’d get worse over time because technology has gotten worse.

          Errr, wait…

        It’s not the same. The ability to converse about a topic is pretty dope. Compared to ring to find relevant information about a very unique case for instance.

        It’s presented as friendly but yeah it’s actually incredibly hostile and predatory
