10/10 best impression XD

There are a little bit of variation for other stuff, but they have their templates. Say if you look for some specific thing "the earliest super nova documented" then chances are it will guide you to wikipedia or some valid sources.

But if your search term contains anything that was trending on google, say if you search some hot game's tip, etc. There will be pages and pages of AI generated contents, from some domain you don't really recognize. (so better put ign or gamefaq or Fextralife/fandom wiki as search term now. )
