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.

We computer people have been warning about lack of transparency in devices, software and services for as long as I can remember.

@angelastella @ned It's not just about AI. The trend here is to put QR codes everywhere now. To subscribe to any event. To get the menu at a restaurant and most importantly to pay the bill without the waiter coming over.
How easy it is to put a sticker replacing that QR code?

It's happened with EV charging poles. And then people not looking and just going ahead and doing payments on that fraudulent site.
