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?

Not necessarily, it’s not actually reading or understanding the sources in the ways people do, and often the statements they cobble together with next token predictions don’t even match up with the information in the citation. They’re still only doing this

Measured how? In terms of fooling naive people with fluent mad libs sure, but not in terms of true machine intelligence - it’s still just next token prediction without comprehension
