I am still getting a handle on the full power of #Mastodon #search capabilities, but the ability to combine queries and have queries that target specific data is very powerful. I thought I would share an example.

I wanted to catch up on reporting on threats to public federal research funding for universities in the last 1-2 days. This query got me what I was looking for:

“After:2025-04-01 from:\@npr\@flipboard.com fund”

Change the news site account to suit your needs, of course.

"AI models incorrectly answered more than 60 percent of queries about news sources."

"Perplexity provided incorrect information in 37 percent of the queries tested, whereas ChatGPT Search incorrectly identified 67 percent (134 out of 200) of articles queried. Grok 3 demonstrated the highest error rate, at 94 percent."

Good grief. This is far, far worse than I thought possible. On average, #AI #search assistants were confidently incorrect on > 60% of queries. Especially pleased Grok 3 was incorrect on > 94% of queries! 😉 All tip of the iceberg stuff.

AI agents delivered "confident presentations of incorrect information, misleading attributions to syndicated content, and inconsistent information retrieval practices."
