This is so fucking stupid. All Gemini (and every other LLM) does is find info on the internet and regurgitate it back to you. The LLM part just does it's best to narrow it down to the specific answer you're looking for much more quickly and summarize it. It has no way to disseminate fact from fiction.
Same goes for the Google search engine. Does it suck? Yes. Is it worse than it used to be? Yes. Is that Google's fault? Not necessarily, it's moreso the rise of AI just uploading mountains of bullshit to the internet. Every other search engine has the same problems.
Although I am in no way advocating for the use of Google search...
