(a) I still don't trust any AI to get things right
(b) that makes any AI query pointless for me, and I don't want it wasting electricity (ie producing carbon dioxide, directly or indirectly) for something pointless.

The thing is that you would expect encyclopedia entries to be highly referenced, and thus high on the results list from a search. And it's ridiculous for Welsh language results to appear before English ones - that really looks like Google is trying to exclude, or move far down, results from the main English Wikipedia pages (I've also notice the Simple English Wikipedia results coming before the main English ones).
