The problem is AI will always confidently give you an answer like its word is fact. Obviously since you're the one searching, you're most likely unable to verify its accuracy so it's impossible to trust.

I dont mind AI being wrong when i can immediately tell when its wrong but in searches I'll never trust it

That's a very good point. Things like chat GPT can accelerate the process of doing something that takes time but a human knows when it's done correctly. But in anything where finding truth is the goal, it shouldn't be trusted yet.
