@jon@vivaldi.net It depends, on one hand the ability to summarize multiple searh results is a neat feature that saves time, but on the other hand SEO spam has gotten worse.

My experience is that the summary is wrong or not accurate more often that not and clearly not the best answer. I have learned that trusting it for even the most basic of answers, such as which terminal a flight leaves from, to not be trustworthy.
@jon@vivaldi.net Just because the search engine indexes it doesn’t mean it is true. It is the same for AI systems.
@JoeBecomeTheSun@vivaldi.net , I think most would expect that if there is a framed answer, that it would be the best one…
@jon@vivaldi.net Just because most consensus answer is at the top doesn’t mean it is true, only that the search engine recommended it. Ideally, a search engine will show you in order most relevant to least relevant. That is what a search engine is for and what it should do. If I search for something I should have a reasonable expectation that the content was ranked by some objective standard rather than a flimsy algorithm or human reviewer. I also have a reasonable expectation to not have porn and malware advertised to me, but Google doesn’t get the message.
