Turns out AI bots might actually be smarter than Google search
It looks like your favorite chatty algorithm is doing a better job at fact-checking than the traditional search bar.
Researchers finally put AI chatbots to the test against standard search engines when it comes to dodging foreign propaganda. It turns out, when you ask a bot to dig into viral lies, it actually does the homework. Bots are significantly better at flagging and debunking international misinformation than the classic search results we all use.
The weirdest part? The auto-generated summaries that search engines are currently shoving to the top of the page performed even worse than the standard links. It seems the machine learning models trained on nuance are handling the chaos of global narratives with a bit more skepticism than the simple keyword-matching algorithms.
Apparently, relying on an algorithm to summarize the internet is like asking a parrot to explain geopolitics.
