On the other hand, AI can be incredible helpful for learning new things. Unreliability is not an issue, because you're learning and kinda need to verify the things you've learned somehow anyway. Sometimes it's not more useful than an online search, but especially with search results being increasingly plagued by low-quality, search-engine-optimized content that never gets straight to the point, AI does seem like an attractive option.

You can easily 'learn' the wrong things with AI :/ A
And AI aggregated search results still need to be checked.

I ran into this yesterday trying to find out the brightness of PSVR1



That's the measurement for PSVR2, not 1, based on 1 single Reddit post
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/zqdd66/psvr_peak_brightness_nits_or_cdm2/

AI states it as fact, while the article referenced in the post clearly says PSVR2.


Maybe Google AI is just shit but I often find it blatantly stating falsehoods. 

Learning from a 'textbook' full of errors doesn't seem like a good way to learn new things. At least for now the sources are still shown.

Google AI doesn't learn either. I clicked on dive deeper into AI mode, told it it was wrong, that is was for PSVR2, it agreed and then said it's likely similar to 100 nits of Quest 2, which is correct. Yet I go back to the normal search and it still states it as fact for PSVR1.

It's just a harmless example, however I'm not impressed. Can't trust AI.
