It also applies to reel to reel tape.
While I understand that everybody seems to hate AI in all facets of its existence including the ability to research. I think LLMS doing research groundwork is actually not a bad thing. And in defense of Grok in this particular case, It does not necessarily have to get its sources from Merriam Webster, whom I believe is bent the knee to the mob when it comes to what a woman supposedly is. So. Looking at this realistically I think sourcing multiple sources is a good idea.
The problem is AI will just make shit up if it can't find an answer. And sometimes when it can. AI's literally aren't allowed to come back with "I don't know" as an answer. It also can't separate fact from fiction or good sources from bad sources. I've gotten AI search summaries that cite one singular article from a site I've never heard of that, upon investigation, seems like it was posting AI written articles.
Much like Wikipedia, AI can be useful for finding a jumping on point to learn what you want to learn, but you can't trust it implicitly and you always have to check the cited sources.
