Open the companion tool →Why AI search summaries require source verification
AI search overviews combine text fragments from multiple websites, sometimes synthesizing contradictory or incorrect instructions.
Clicking through to the cited source website ensures you read the full context and confirm the author's credentials.
The protocol
- Locate the specific source link cited next to an AI search summary statement.
- Click through to the original web page and confirm the quoted statement exists in context.
- Check the primary website's authority (e.g. government agency, academic institution, established news outlet).
- Never follow medical, legal, or home repair safety advice from an AI summary card without human verification.
