Error rates ranged from 37% for Perplexity to 94% for Grok 3. AI tools often provided false information rather than admitting uncertainty, and paid versions sometimes performed worse. The findings raise concerns about reliability, as approximately 25% of Americans now use AI alternatives to traditional search engines.
