Anyone really relying on genAI results at this point really needs to ask for sources — and then check them out. Does it save time over a regular Google search? Perhaps. Right now to me it is the difference between the Android and iPhone interfaces. I lean more toward the DIY approach, but the plan is to take those options away from us. Wasn’t it Eric S. who gushed about the perfect search providing just one response?
I think of it like a very smart but error-prone intern or associate-level helper.
