I sort of get it. If AI was 100% accurate like Google search used to be, then yeah AI might be a net benefit.

But right now, they fucking tell us ”Hey this feature that gobbles up gigawatts of electricity and gallons of water might be wrong so double check it by going to the sources I've left here."

What value is that providing exactly?

Jfc...

Estimating that Google search used to be 100% seems like a really big stretch.

Better, yes.
