Not sure who is doing this exactly, if it’s DDG or Reddit or someone else. I was looking for a comparison of epic vs steam and noticed that the description of the search result is AI-generated, instead of actually showing anything from the thread.

A user asks why they should buy games on Steam rather than Epic, and gets various answers from other users. Some of the reasons include Steam’s features, performance, community, and exclusivity.

    The very last sentence of its summary provides extremely useful context that may make you want to click through to find more in-depth answers. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

      Only if you have very limited experience searching for information. Those kinds of details should be a given. That’s my concern, that people who do not know what information is useful come to rely on these summaries and forfeit their own agency, rather than develop critical reading and decision making skills
