AI Search Engines Are Confidently Wrong Too Often
www.seroundtable.com
A new study from Columbia Journalism Review showed that AI search engines and chatbots, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Deepseek Search, Microsoft Copilot, Grok and Google's Gemini, are just wrong, way too often. I have said this time and time again, when I see an AI Answer, at this point, I just skip over it because I know I cannot trust it and this proves that.

      well that’s common, but the big thing is, you can see what you are working with. Big difference in at least knowing you need to try a different site when say

      Google: Law about X in state1

      Top result: Law about X in state3: It’s illegal

      Result 2 pages in: here’s a list of each page and whether law X is legal in your state… (State 1 legal)

      Versus chatgpt

      Is X legal in state1?

      Chatgpt: No

      Yeah because you’re not supposed to ask search engines questions, you’re supposed to use keywords.
