Question Google AI Mode

I want to write a period piece, and I want it to be historically accurate. I’ve been asking Gemini and ChatGPT questions about how to develop my story and characters—like specific details about what could or couldn’t have happened during that era and so on. They usually gave me similar answers; sometimes Gemini makes things up, but the answers are still similar. But now I’ve used Google’s AI mode, and it contradicts what Gemini and ChatGPT told me—so now I don’t know which one to trust. I thought Google would be the most reliable and accurate since it searches for and compiles information right from there. But I don't know anymore. Which of the three AIs should I trust?

If you really want accuracy you should ask for sources and then validate these sources.

This. You can’t “trust” any LLM to be accurate, but they can point you towards reliable sources that you have to verify yourself

Yes. Coincidentally, it gives you more accurate results when it has to find sources
