It's just the ai overview is very prone to error. Not a great teaching tool. Wikipedia is generally better sourced than the ai overview.
This one isn't horrible, but you can see in the top right corner one of the sources used was facebook
What the ai shows as sources is also inaccurate. It's what the AI thinks the source is, not necessarily the actual source of information.
Every time I learn something new about ai it gets just a little bit worse
