You, I and everyone else form our opinions on 2 things and 2 things only - information from sources - and our own thinking.
AI merely brings you a list of information sources.
Your infantile quip ''lots of dodgy studies courtesy of Prof. Google. '' displays a spectacular igorance of how to use AI and search engines AND a total disrespect of science -I have said many times - the way to use AI is to go and see the references AND the references in the references - MANY of which are belowif you believe that gaining access to dozens of studies like these below is '''
'lots of dodgy studies courtesy of Prof. Google. ''
then, you show clear evidence of a very closed mind and a spectacular lack of keeping up with new knowledge acquisition
