Maybe not now, but in future, with more accurate results, AI powered search will be preferred by majority, because of the convenience.

When the citations are on point, I like AI search. 9 times out of 10 I care enough to read the source though.

However, there are still way too many hallucinations when it comes to sources in my experience. It just wastes my time when I go to verify and find that AI just spat out garbage.
