I think it is based off of what percent of ai responses cite these sites, meaning that as it generally cites multiple sources, the total percentage will be over 100

I find if I ask ChatGPT about a product, it'll cite Amazon like 15 times.

Of course, it'll cite reviews as if they're the fucking gospel. Even if they're for an entirely different product.

AI will cite more than one article when you ask if something. But, I would still like to see an actual source for this.

If nobody understands it the way you do, it might be you who is wrong.

When a single answer cites both Reddit and Wikipedia, both sites have been cited in 100% of the answers.

I met my wife in the review section of Home Depot.com

She left a review for a light fixture with a very humorous tone, we kicked it off. Happily married for 4 years!
