@[email protected] It depends, on one hand the ability to summarize multiple searh results is a neat feature that saves time, but on the other hand SEO spam has gotten worse.
@[email protected]
My experience is that the summary is wrong or not accurate more often that not and clearly not the best answer. I have learned that trusting it for even the most basic of answers, such as which terminal a flight leaves from, to not be trustworthy.
@[email protected] Just because the search engine indexes it doesn't mean it is true. It is the same for AI systems.
@[email protected] , I think most would expect that if there is a framed answer, that it would be the best one...
@[email protected] Just because most consensus answer is at the top doesn't mean it is true, only that the search engine recommended it. Ideally, a search engine will show you in order most relevant to least relevant. That is what a search engine is for and what it should do. If I search for something I should have a reasonable expectation that the content was ranked by some objective standard rather than a flimsy algorithm or human reviewer. I also have a reasonable expectation to not have porn and malware advertised to me, but Google doesn't get the message.
