Recently I was doing some research on a subject and uses A.I. (Microsoft co-pilot). I was surprised to see one of the references was "posting on Mayo Community Connect" as a resource for information.
I like that at lease on co-pilot it list at bottom where it got the information it is referencing. I use the A.I. to help me find medical institutions for specific articles on a subject I need more information.
I use A.I. for other reason and it warns you that it can make mistakes. You really have to be careful as I would say around 10% of the time the information will not be accurate or recorded not accurately.

@jc76 There's this perception that people will use AI as a foundation for starting serious research, as a kind of first-take. Then they'll start serious thinking.
I believe people will consider it as authoritative, and *stop* thinking after getting results from AI.
I remember when pocket calculators first appeared. There was an expectation that it would free people from basic math and allow them to pursue higher mathematical functions. As if. Now your average college grad can't figure out a 20% discount.
