Yeah, "Don't trust Wikipedia" always has been like "don't trust books" because it literally is at least on par and even references sources. We literally can't do original research on everything ourselves and even just verifying the sources is infeasible for most topics because it's not just a list but a forest of deep-rooted trees. It takes decades to learn to know what's real and what's just a commonly believed lie. Sometimes someone proves the empirically validated assumptions of the past wrong, and then we get new tech like GPS... That said: Don't trust AI. It's not as good as the humans filling Wikipedia - yet.
