I love that Bing Chat actually links to references. It felt like something was missing from ChatGPT without it.

If I have to check each reference, what's the added value compared to just giving me a list of links (i.e. a good old search engine)?

Chat search tools are only useful if (when?) they achieve a 99.99% reliability (I'm fine with one mistake per 1000 searches).

Just because it does, it doesn’t mean they’re being interpreted correctly, so watch out for https://xkcd.com/906/

In the context of LLMs they aren't really sources, just additional reference material. I'd trust what Bing Chat tells me far before I'd trust Google's new Bard AI. It legit started making up non-existent commands for me to use.
