So I realised I have been using ai for general search and research. Because it is very appeasing and overly confident it will often frame or make up information. I hoped to get more updated on various social and economical issues using Wikipedia. Anything that can help me? I would like to make a list of these pages that are relevant globally. Would appreciate any help I can get here

As always, nowadays one source in the web isn't enough for an deeper research, with or without AI. You find the whole human knowledge in the web, but hidden between 80% BS, conspiranoic sites, stupid influencers, cat images/vids, porn, hentai and other crap. Wikipedia is fine, but also with a grain of salt, good to take also a look on the sources of it's articles, apart there are also dozends of Wikipedia alternatives, which, depending of the theme are also good for certain researches.

Apart of this it's also recommend to take a look on websites, like Wolphram Alpha, publications of universities and scientific centers.
