I think I'm going to disagree with the accuracy statement.
Yes - AIs can be famously inaccurate. But so can web pages - even reputable ones. In fact, any single source of information is insufficient to be relied upon, if accuracy is important. And today, deliberate disinformation on the internet is massive - it's something we don't even know the scale of because the tools to check it may be compromised.
It takes a lot of cross-referencing to be certain of something, and most of us don't bother if the first answer from either method 'feels right'.
AI does get shown off when it's stupidly wrong, which is to be expected, but the world doesn't care when it's correct time and again. And each iteration gets better at self-checking facts.
