    Google can directly lead you to the original sources and studies that have made these conclusions, dumb-dumb. They’re not saying to blindly listen to the AI overview, they’re saying to Google it and find the scientific studies that are publicly accessible instead of making wild guesses.

      Google intentionally tries to steer you towards corporate and government supported narratives. Most of their algorithm is designed to brainwash midwits who think a scientific study = truth, which wasn’t even remotely true in the times before massive ngos and nonprofits and advocacy groups funding pseudoscientific studies. Reading a study these days doesn’t really mean anything if you aren’t an expert in the field. Most studies are also not reproducible.

      Especially if you click on links that arent just the first 2 pages of sponsored content.

      Cory Doctorow, who knows a thing or 2 about this, used kagi as his search engine(or did for a while) and says it uses google without a bunch of garbage results(though it also doesn’t exclusively use google for it’s results)
