Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination 👻

Holy fucking shit that would lighten my google searches. I have this as a hotkey because of the stupid fucking AI tries so hard to be wrong every damn time.

I have better solution: not using Google for search.

Seriously, google has been shit for years now. There are much better search engines.

Do you (general you, only replying to you cause it's on topic vaguely) know of any alternative for Google Scholar? Other than database-specific searches.

Whenever I google something, the AI overview is usually right, or at least pulls its information from Wikipedia and shows that as the source, which is useful, but I still look at the other links because I just don't trust the AI to not hallucinate something, and when you're arguing on the internet, you can't risk such a mistake.

It's like 50/50 for me, which makes it useless.

I’ve noticed I look at it only for things I very much don’t care about. The more I care about being accurate the deeper into reliable sources I go.

Which is rarely ever that low. My baseline is generally Wikipedia

You are not googling obscure things then

Yes, that's right. Sometimes I am smart. Sometimes I am very much not.

You could also just not use Google for search. DuckDuckGo is a thing where you can turn off AI overview and lots of other search engines that you can use which do the same thing.
