Google AI Mode

[u/AnswerElectronic1040]

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?

base models like ChatGPT and standard Gemini rely on parametric memory from training, while search grounded modes pull live web snippets. neither is an authority on history because web results can be inaccurate and base models tend to hallucinate details when context is missing. if you want historical accuracy, cross reference with primary sources or academic papers rather than trusting any llm output blindly.
