A recent study from Columbia University's Tow Center for Digital Journalism sounds the alarm on the accuracy of AI search services. The research reveals significant accuracy issues in ChatGPT's citation of news sources, with even publishers directly cooperating with OpenAI not spared. The research team conducted a comprehensive test on 200 news citations from 20 different publishers, resulting in shocking findings: ChatGPT had errors or partially incorrect source information in as many as 153 cases.
