Yeah, there is a joke meme out there somewhere that came out after they
first started doing that.  Something about the first several answers being
AI things that could get you killed, with the actual info showing up several
answers down.  Any more, I do skim the first few answers, but I always keep
going until I (hopefully) find the actual links that the AI answers were
scraped from.

IIRC, there is/was a way to tell it not to give you an AI answer when you
search, but I haven't used it enough to remember the exact format.
