The concern here is that old search engines can give you links and you can go into them to verify the content. AI taking over our search engines hides the sources of information, forcing us to blindly trust the AI and wherever it got its information from.

#AI

@ned Source is everything! Search engines shouldn’t process the information the way they seem to be doing. Providing links to the source means providing means to evaluate the credibility of the data. Hiding the source (behind #ai or in any other way) means also the data is stolen and the source becomes merely raw data provider.

This is very short sighted to the search engine business as well - how long does it take until websites start to block this kind of data harvesters?
