Absolutely, that’s why in my thread I was specifically asking how to go about researching online given search engine commercialization/“optimization” and AI “hallucinations”.
In a funny twist, my question may have been better suited to this community, given its specificity, and OP’s question may have been better suited to asklemmy with its more relaxed phrasing. In any event, it’s been reassuring to see that others are muddling through similar problems lately and trying to rethink how we approach navigating the web.
