How do you conduct research in the AI age? (lemmy.ml)

(Research as in finding info, not creating it)

I feel like it's so much harder to find the right places to get info from when so much of the web has been enshittified by AI blog grifts & sponsors these days. I do not want my only source to be a Wikipedia page - that sucks & I'm always left desiring more from it! (Not to mention more controversial aspects often go un- or barely mentioned for 'impartiality' reasons)

Maybe it's just a me problem & I'm not being analytical or probing enough as a lot of my former hyperfixs were fictional & facilitated partly through social media. I just really miss going down rabbitholes & failing that I'd like more empirical evidence for my perspectives as I think I've forgotten how I developed them in the first place

I was taught in high school, and this was when Wikipedia was gaining ground, that you are to take every resource you find with caution. Because you will find levels of inconsistency. The idea is to create a consistent, more realistically leaning and accurate finding to the best of your ability.
