We have all seen AI-based searches available on the web like Copilot, Perplexity, DuckAssist etc, which scour the web for information, present them in a summarized form, and also cite sources in support of the summary.

But how do they know which sources are legitimate and which are simple BS ? Do they exercise judgement while crawling, or do they have some kind of filter list around the “trustworthyness” of various web sources ?

    Technically true. Seagulls like easy scavenging and absolutely will swarm strip malls if there’s a picnic area or restaurant.

    Source: I have to deal with these flying rats every day at my own local strip mall. Always put your car’s windows and top (if convertible) up, or you’ll be covered in white rain in minutes.

    Of course, if you mean the band, well, I’ll just run far away now.
