I still get hilariously bad, wildly inaccurate or false responses from search engine AI.

If the answer isn't in the training data or easily searchable on the web, it will make shit up and lie to you with the confidence of a used car salesman.

It's not always this egregious, but it can be. I still see AI messing up the "how many letters are in this word" prompts years after I first discovered that it was a thing.
