For the query "did AR5 include the term middle of the road?", the quick answer claims 'The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) did include the term "middle of the road" as part of its framework for describing socioeconomic pathways. Specifically, SSP2 (Middle of the Road) is one of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) used in climate modeling.'
This is not only untrue, it talks about SSPs, which weren't introduced until the IPCC published AR6 - AR5 only talks about RCPs. Some of the SSPs partially map onto the RCPs, but they are still not perfect matches.
This is a recurrent problem I've noticed in my recent new work in climate modeling and policy - quick answer is often confidently incorrect on topics that have a lot of media coverage. Compared to programming results which also have a lot of results, Kagi seems to be much worse at filtering out the junk, slop, and content marketing from the actual useful content relating to climate modeling.
If the issue is reference data, the IPCC provide the full PDFs of all their reports for free on their website (e.g. AR6 combined report: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-cycle/). The full volumes of the Working Group I, II, and III reports are very detailed and extensive.
Quick answer should provide correct answers that cite the actual documents, rather than conflating models that differ in important ways and citing content marketing.
