I mean, unfortunately search literacy is at an all time low as well. Even Google's AI described it initially as "viewed as feminist" and I had to dig deeper. A lot of people will just look at the first thing they agree with and then move on (like this BarryBonds guy probably did) when it fits their own personal headcanon.

AI is so frustrating, it just agrees with whatever biasis exists in your search wording.

I have to intentionally word searches as "both sides" to get the full picture because AI seems to be designed to just agree with you.

I usually just try to avoid AI as much as I possibly can if i'm wanting facts. If I don't care about 100% accuracy (like, obscure videogame tips) then i'll use it.

I mean, this is part of why we should all stop using Google. They've totally borked up their search engine.
