> Is Google search engine that leads to NY Times or Fox News or Wikipedia and makes us manually choose sources as per our biases "better" than Google's Gemini engine that summarizes content from all the above sources and gives an average answer?
If you use just any amount of critical thinking, yes. Truth and objectivity are ideals, not practical states. LLMs are a very bad way to come close to this ideal. You may use them as a search interface to give you sources and then examine the sources, but the output directly is a strict degeneration over primary or secondary sources that you judge critically.
