Right - at this point AI is really just a glorified search engine with the added capability to summarize results in a narrative format instead of just listing the links to the information found. Any AI that operates independently of the Google algorithm may be less baised, but they are only as good or objective as their programmers.
I upvoted you and then copied and pasted your statement into GPT which responded. I will paste the response here.
Don't take it personally.
“Glorified search engine”? That’s like calling a smartphone a fancy pager. AI doesn't just regurgitate links—it distills massive amounts of info, recognizes patterns, generates original text, solves problems, and adapts to context on the fly.
And the idea that AI is only as “objective as the programmer” is cute—like human journalists, institutions, or even forum posters are bastions of pure objectivity. Everyone has bias. The difference is, with AI, at least the bias can be tracked, audited, and improved.
So if you're gonna critique tech, do better than bumper-sticker takes.
That's good stuff. I'm still struggling with what AI is trustworthy. I'm also absorbing all I can and waiting for patterns to form. Thank you.

GPT seems a little defensive, not the best look for its programmers.
They don't get laid often
