And that’s becoming a real problem in the automotive industry.

Dealers are turning to AI search overviews for answers, trusting the summaries without checking where the information actually came from.

But click on the sources and you might find a completely different story.

An overview about Ford could link to an article about Honda or Buick GMC. A summary might even contradict the very article it's referencing.

Yet people are treating these AI-generated answers like they're the final word.

AI is a useful tool, but it isn't a substitute for verifying information.

Before making decisions based on an AI overview, click the links, read the sources, and make sure the facts actually support the answer.

Because a confident answer isn't always a correct one.
