AI summaries on top of search engine results varied in their performance

NPR and NewsGuard sent the same 30 questions to popular search engines. Bing made more mistakes than its counterparts, but it also showed users summaries less often.

Notes

NPR also reviewed results from Yandex, which returned few AI summaries.
