Note on Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assistants

[edit | edit source]

AI assistants are starting to be built into the most popular search engines, showing answers to queries before human made websites. It's recommended to take these answers with a grain of salt, since as of October 22nd 2025, there have been studies[2] showing that AI summaries are often inaccurate. As time goes on AI may get more accurate but generally be careful with the answers produced by these assistants.
