Study Finds AI Search Tools Frequently Provide Confidently Inaccurate Results

AI search engines promised to revolutionize how we find information online, offering instant, intelligent answers. But a new study suggests that these AI-powered tools are prone to errors, sometimes getting things spectacularly wrong. The Tow Center for Digital Journalism tested AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity AI, finding inaccurate answers were surprisingly common, with the AI confidently presenting made-up information. While AI search is powerful, traditional search engines remain more reliable for factual accuracy. The study urges caution and critical evaluation of AI-generated answers.
