Generally when accuracy matters I ask for a direct link with proof and for the specific part of the doc that is related. I either get exactly that or it’ll realize it’s hallucinating and can’t prove anything.
Hugely wasteful but unfortunately still faster than how unusable search has become.
I use ai chatbots like I used to use Google.
Google sucks now so AI chatbots tend to give direct answers at the moment. I know it’s a limited time before enshitification kicks in.
Do you click on the links to check if it’s actually true what they say?
Sure, it’s a wrong answer machine, but sometimes it’s right, and it’s almost always fast!

Only if it’s important. Usually it’s just trivial stuff.
I still can’t wrap my head around this. If you don’t care whether or not the answer is true, why even bother asking in the first place?
It doesn’t matter how trivial the question is. If it’s worth asking, I want the right answer. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t ask!
Not everything is a life or death situation. Nobody has time to verify all the sources on everything.
Not op but I do with the google AI summary if I’m not able to reasonably verify its truthfulness against my own knowledge.
