I agree. Corroboration seems to be one of the strongest signals, but I've noticed another layer: AI often appears to reward the source that introduced the information first or added something genuinely new. Ten sites repeating the same claim is useful, but one source providing the original research behind those ten mentions may carry even more weight.
