An AI that was capable of verifying anything it knows and providing sources would also be awesome. Until it can do that (it can’t since it relies on statistical processes and stupid amounts of training and resources), search engines will remain superior.

Given the pace at which the field of AI is moving, even by the week, that is a useless point to make. Chances are your complaints have already been solved and the paper is just waiting to be published.

Just because we can land on the moon doesn’t mean we can land on the sun. Fact-checking requires deductively analyzing a set of propositions. The way this AI currently works is inference based on probability. That’s not the kind of gap you can bridge in a couple weeks.

And in 2016, people thought it would be insane to reuse a rocket booster. What’s your point?

That you can’t assume everything is possible just because some impressive things have happened. These breakthroughs didn’t come out of nowhere, they’re based in very sound and rigorous theories. You have provided none as to how or why a language model would be able to logically verify what it produces. You’re just vaguely gesturing at the fact breakthroughs exist.
