AI Search Engines: The Comedic Tragedy of Wrong Answers! 😂

So, guess what? A shiny new study from the Columbia Journalism Review has just dropped, and it turns out that AI search engines are about as reliable as your friend who claims they can cook but only makes toast. 🍞

they flunked harder than a kid who forgot to study for the math exam. 📉

they couldn’t. 😬

In a shocking twist, the study revealed that “Overall, the chatbots often failed to retrieve the correct articles. Collectively, they provided incorrect answers to more than 60 percent of queries.” I mean, Grok 3 was like that one friend who always shows up late—answering 94 percent of the queries incorrectly. Thanks for nothing, Grok! 🙄

And here’s the kicker: the paid versions of these AI tools, like Perplexity Pro ($20/month) and Grok 3 ($40/month), were the biggest culprits of misinformation. Who knew that paying more didn’t guarantee you a golden ticket to accuracy? It’s like buying a fancy coffee and still getting decaf. ☕️

Even when these AI tools managed to find the right articles, they still couldn’t link to the source. It’s like finding the perfect dress but forgetting to buy it. Fashionably late, I guess? 👗

But wait! There’s a silver lining! The chatbots did manage to nail it when it came to their partner publisher content. ChatGPT and Perplexity AI were like the overachievers in class, providing 100% accurate responses to queries related to the Times. Bravo! 🎉
