Hopefully not for anything that requires an accurate result...
If you ask it to find a source website rather then an explicit answer i don't see why not.
The internet is full of lies to begin with, i wouldn't trust the snippets on the google search page either.
Carbon footprint - AI burns a lot more power than old fashioned search results.
I get wanting to cost them more, but I don't think they'll see this use case as a cost.
