You know that AI is known for routinely lie in their answers right? This may surprise you but AI is trained in the same cesspool of disinformation that the internet has become, and since it has zero ways to recognize falsehoods it just repeats them, just in a more convincing way.

I can totally see an article about astronomy being "complemented" with counterpoints telling people that the Earth is the center of the universe.

Well, it apparently took no time flat for the AI to show how "useful" it was.

The Los Angeles Times removed its new AI-powered “insights” feature from a column after the tool tried to defend the Ku Klux Klan.

I sort of agree, but I suspect the AI will gather most (all?) of its information from mainstream narratives.

Another one.

What sources would you recommend? I’m sure you’ve read a lot of these in your time.

Links would be nothing short of absolutely glorious.

If the original article is something that agrees with what is reported elsewhere (understandably for most things that are based on actual evidence) there is very little the AI could use as a counterpoint, by default it would need to use baseless conspiracies or blatantly false information to say something different from what is included in the article.
