Looks like GP is using ChatGPT (see the utm_source in their link) to find the first result that supports their viewpoint rather than doing a broad discovery and analysis

The horror! Someone using an LLM for basic information gathering like "is AI facial recognition accurate compared to humans?" rather than going off vibes or one off sensationalized articles.

Apparently it has not given you broad coverage of the subject, others have provide more references showing the opposite result of your claim

LLMs are sycophants, how you ask matters

> Someone using an LLM for basic information gathering ...

While doing so can be ok, you should probably do some checking via non-LLM means as well.

Otherwise you'll end up misunderstanding things that you _think_ you've learned about. :(
