Reddit user irishdrunk97 raises ethical concerns about Google Search's AI Mode. He dislikes generative AI due to ChatGPT's hallucinations and suicide encouragement incidents, but finds AI Mode more useful than default search for historical novel research because sources are visible. However, AI Mode citing Grokapedia makes him uneasy, and he suspects Google deliberately degraded search quality to promote AI Mode. He asks whether AI Mode is just an advanced search engine or equally 'evil' as generative AI.
