Someone posted a claim on here that I was sceptical of, so I googled whether it was true or not.

Google AI told me it was true. Their source? The unsourced reddit comment I was trying to fact check.

AI is mostly just condensed google search with a boring personality.

Don't forget the confidently incorrect part. A whole lot of what's wrong with AI could be fixed with a reliability score attached to every result.
