What it does well: it saves you the hour of opening twenty tabs yourself, and it is genuinely good at giving a first-pass shape to an unfamiliar topic, a competitive landscape, or a product comparison. What it gets wrong is the same thing every AI system gets wrong: it can state something with total confidence that is subtly off, outdated, or drawn from a source that does not actually say what the report claims it says. A long, well-formatted report with numbered citations looks authoritative whether or not it is correct, and that gap is the most important thing this chapter teaches you to close.
