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 ?
I regularly ask it these questions and have yet to have it too far off of what I’d find from people on any forum.
Here is me asking it today
A heart rate of 178 BPM (beats per minute) can be healthy depending on the context:

General formula for max heart rate:
