I agree with your assessment or hopes. The interesting thing is that I get the idea the average user basically grokked, in 2008, that Google itself can't answer a question for you, it can only show you a list of websites that match keywords and you have to do the work to vet them, and often to extract the answers themselves from webpages.

Today they seem to not grok (no pun intended, just think the word is fitting) that AI isn't an oracle and as such, its "opinion" on anything that could be even slightly controversial carries zero weight.
