Recently, I engaged with Google’s search to find out how much screen time might be excessive for teenagers. Instead of its usual presentation of links, Google provided an answer generated by artificial intelligence. The response included a specific number but went on to add complexity. The AI noted that quality and balance of time might be more significant than hours alone. It also mentioned that what constitutes ‘too much’ can vary depending on a teenager’s sleep, exercise, academic workload, and mood.
In another instance, I encountered a situation where a Google response sought my medical history, and a separate reply addressed a personal health question without verifying my identity. Both responses were presented with a sense of authority.
