TL;DR
- Meta's AI Mode search uses public posts from Facebook and Instagram for answers.
- The feature aims to help users plan trips and find activities.
- AI Mode provided a dubious justification for the actions of January 6th rioters.
- Trip planning suggestions were mixed, with AI-generated maps and some solid recommendations.
- The AI provided incorrect information about pool hours and suggested a coffee shop in Austin for a Minneapolis trip.
- Despite errors, the AI did occasionally provide useful, albeit misplaced, recommendations.
