MODERATORS
All jokes aside, I usually do want to read the six Wikipedia pages because getting a one-sentence answer with no context is risky and not all that useful anyway. I need the nuance and background info for any question worth asking.
It's like getting the info from some rando at some party. It's to be lightly penciled in.
If you need nuance and background, wikipedia is NOT the place to get that. Maybe you can get some good links at the bottom of the page to real information, but that can be hit or miss also.
Do you really mean questions about things people might not know that yet have simple answers that don't need pages of context, are not worth asking?
Okay so how much glue to keep the cheese on my pizza?
4 seems like a good amount.
I would say that even simple answers at least deserve a source or citation. This is my biggest complaint with AI search, you get an "answer" with no qualification. The citations listed in the AI summary often don't contain the actual info being presented.
This question certainly wasn't worth asking.
