This isn’t trivial stuff. Google has ~15 billion queries a day.
Let’s say 50% of those contain an “AI” summary.
Of these 50%—lets be generous again—10% contain grave factual errors and made-up stuff.
And then let’s be extremely generous and say 1% of queries ask for something like medical advice.
15,000,000,000 x 0.5 x 0.1 x 0.01 x 365 =2,737,500,000
That’s ~2.7 billion wrong, dangerous, misleading, maybe deadly “AI” summaries per year.

With the renewed interest in TUIs, I also upgraded TermKit to modern swift tooling and started adding a number of pending features.

Despite their rebranding efforts, Facebook remains a deeply rotten company:
