I had a very entertaining time asking search engine AI about various bacteria when writing an open book exam.
Ask how X bacteria acts in the oral cavity, and the AI summary calls it a beneficial species
Ask how X bacteria relates to periodontal disease, and the AI summary tells you it is a pathogen of utmost importance.
