When we get convincing-sounding answers instantly, it's easier to skip the habits that #MediaLiteracy is built on like remembering that the first result might not be the best result. Such is the case with Google's AI summaries, which are accurate a lot of the time but are also prone to errors ⤵️

Hur var det nu?
Rubriker sätts avsiktligt vilseledande och är det enda som läses av 90% (och dessa tar det för sanning).
