ICYMI - Why Your AI Search Results Might Be Lying to You

AI search summaries are quietly replacing the second, third, and fourth sources you used to check before trusting an answer. Mohit Rajhans lays out how a single Gemini query can bury the truth of a story under one linked opinion video, and what that means the next time you search for anything you actually need to get right. The conversation turns to the moment a routine BMW search revealed how Google's own ecosystem feeds back its own YouTube link and calls it an answer, plus the real statement Toronto Pearson International Airport had to issue when AI-generated misinformation about the airport spread faster than anyone could correct it. There's also a warning about accounts driving Alberta separation talk from outside Canada, and why AI search tools cannot tell the difference. Rajhans also traces where Shadow AI started, the plugins students built to dodge detection in schools.
