Your AI chatbot - no matter how well-trained - is NOT "a domain expert" or some kind of profession no matter how you word your prompts . It's an application that searches the Web and spits back probabilistically amalgamated summaries of whatever it found in the search results that seem to match your questions.

The Large Language Models are not retrieving information from the Web. They are submitting queries to the search engines. If the search results contain bad results the LLMs =MAY= ignore those bad results or they =MAY= include them in their summaries. That's not "hallucination". And if the results change because you use a different LLM or revise YOUR query, again, that's not the LLM being ignorant or hallucinating - that's just the LLM summarizing the results it was given by the search engine.

Most of the problems with AI Overviews are coming from the search results because Google has the largest index of all the major search engines and it's very tolerant of multiple points of view.

To do internet searches without getting that annoying #AIsummary (which usually makes for one more useless thing to scroll through to get to the links you want to see, and which wastes a large amount of electricity every time), you can add a simple bit of text at the beginning or end of your search query.

Type “hyphen AI” at the start or end of any search query to not get that annoying AI summary at the top of your search results (which usually makes for one more useless thing to scroll through to get to the links you want to see, and which wastes data center electricity every time).

For example:
-ai Names of all four Beatles
**OR**
Names of all four Beatles -ai

From my perspective, this material holds special relevance for therapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals because it highlights how the source of learning can shape the depth of knowledge. Learning from AI-generated summaries tends to produce shallower knowledge, with less time spent learning compared with learning through standard web search.
