Is there any way to make "Quick Answer" sensitive to the time information was posted on the Net? I mean, at all?
Recently, I posted a query about the war in Gaza, and "Quick Answer" told me that in the initial October 7 attacks on Israel, 200 israelis were killed. As it turned out, "Quick Answer" was using a source from October 7, 2023. as events were still unfolding, i.e. a source that was already outdated 24 hours later.
When I search for Android apps, "Quick Answer" mixes sources from the past year with forum posts that are a decade old and link to software that has long been abandoned.
"Quick Answer" labels information and events as "recent" or "current" even though it is, by any standards, completely outdated. In a reply I received today, I was told that the widget I was asking about "currently" has certain limitations and that users have requested that these limitations be fixed. Turns out that the "current" post was from 2016 and the issues were fixed that same year. I don't mind that the AI overlooked the fix, but this information is from Github where all post dates are freely available, so labeling last decade's issues as "current" just shouldn't happen.
To me, this is by far the biggest flaw of this feature, and I run into it all the time. It's no biggie if "Quick Answer" draws the occasional wrong conclusion or makes a mistake in processing the information it finds (I can always check the sources to see for myself), but as long as the AI can't even consider parameters as simple as timestamps when SELECTING the sources, that's another matter.
