Welcome to the cycle of generative AI making search worse.

Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.

Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.

@carnage4life I wish people would stop calling it "AI", because it's not.
@carnage4life @oldschoolpixels yeah, but if they called it what it really was, Statistics, they’d sound too boring to invest in! That’s todays business model, don’t do something that’s worth paying for, you dupe a load of money out of some investors.
