But how do you know if they’re accurate?

You don't. Just like before generative AI responses. If accuracy is required, you have to check the citations and make a judgement call. And no, people generally won't do that just like they didn't do that before.

Yeah, search engines give accurate answers for that question with no noticeable latency, providing a much better experience.

That was the difference you meant to highlight, right?

Worst part for flow is how fast chatgpt logins expire. Ironically probably some kind of anti-botting measure or is there a better explanation?
