It’s a dilemma. GenAI has ripped off millions of creators, writers, journalists visual artists, etc. It used to be a search engine would point you to some of the best sources for your topic, but that declined into a competition of who could game the system the most to direct you to the sites with ads, etc. And now, search engines just serve up quick answers largely taken from some of those sources where someone else may have spent the time to fact check, research, etc.
As unfair as it is, I don’t know how it gets resolved. The big publishers with the legal resources may get some licensing deals out of it, but — kinda like always — the little guy / gal gets hosed. These AI companies are never going to end up truly paying for the work they are built on.
That said, I’ve explored it at times to check my own reasoning (which I question often) or to make a point more concise than I am able to on my own. Kinda like someone you can have on 24/7 speed dial to run things by.
But you have to be wary. I’ve found it to make up quotes that don’t exist and be weirdly complimentary at times. The kinda vibe you may get when you walk into a store and a salesperson is being overly complimentary. LOL. Then I wonder, is this thing trying to manipulate me??!

Such odd times we are in ….
Indeed to all of that.
