google wormholes used to be: asking a question, getting a direct answer from various sources, clicking into those sources to learn more, or probably going to the "people also ask" section to find more direct answers for other questions
now, its often:
ask a question, get an answer with a heck load of other info, find and read the line you are interested in and ask a follow up question;
get another answer with 1000 other side dishes again...and probably find an inaccuracy or logic flaw somewhere;
proceed to point out that flaw, "you are completely right to call that out!";
this happens often enough that maybe you start asking AI why AI is the way it is, "it can be extremely frustrating when..." "you have caught a classic trap: ...".
somewhere down the line, we tend to get caught into trying to test or question the AI's abilities, forgetting the whole reason why we googled something in the first place. and for some reason, we care about continuing to argue with the AI, even though rationally, it's not like we were going to change the ways of the AI.
of course, all we get out of that is frustration. some people have even likened arguing with AI with arguing with their ex.
the AI doesn't care if you care, so why do we bother fighting with the AI?
