I think even when the answer is "right" in some sense, it should probably come within the context of a bunch of caveats, explanations, etc.

But maybe I'm just weird. Oftentimes when my wife or kids ask me a question, I take a deep breath and start to say something like "I know what you're asking, but there's not a simple or straightforward answer; it's important to first understand ____ or define ____..." by which time they get frustrated with me.

Funnily enough, this is exactly what the LLM does with these questions. So well that people usually try to tweak their prompts so they don't have to wade through additional info, context, hedging, and caveats.

So you are saying that Google should provide responses that are more likely to frustrate its users? ;)
