I'm curious how many people have actually taken the time to compare AI summaries with sources they summarize. I did for a few and ... it was really bad. In my experience, they don't summarize at all, they do a random condensation.. not the same thing at all. In one instance I looked at the result was a key takeaway being the opposite of what it should have been. I don't trust them at all now.

I'm rarely not at least a little underwhelmed when I source check or read an answer with focus on details. More often than not answers are technically wrong but correct enough to lead me into the right direction.
