Core insights:
🤖 Bots are bad at saying "I don't know". They rather offer incorrect info. Or speculate.
🤖 Bots fabricate links and cite syndicated and copied versions of articles.
🤖 Multiple bots seem to bypass bot exclusion protocols.
🤖 Content licensing deals provide no guarantee of accurate citation.
🤖 Premium bots are worse than their free counterparts.
Bottom line: You can't really trust AI search engines (yet).
