Help with parents consuming AI slop and otherwise low quality content

I wish my korean was good enough to explain or have a conversation about this but I was wondering if anyone could help me find a YouTube video or article or any resource (in korean) to help older Korean parents understand research hierarchy (for example systematic reviews over case studies) or even generally being able to tell AI generated content and click bait from more reputable news sources. I wish they understood how social media algorithms push more of what they want to see resulting in confirmation bias and is distorting their world views. My parents can be reasonable and generally trust "science" but not what I tell them and I don't want to be disrespectful or offend them. They claim there is no good consolidated research tool like PubMed in the US but I find that hard to believe for a country as advanced and health obsessed as South Korea. My mom is very interested in health content but falls for a lot of clickbait and catchy youtube titles with skinny women who claim to be health experts. Even a more trustable channel that can site sources and doesn't rely primarily on body shaming and fear mongering to recommend for her would be great. Any insight or even related experiences to commiserate would be greatly appreciated 😊. I fear in the future they will go further down the rabbit hole and fall for sophisticated scams and I don't think they could handle that kind of punch in their pride/finances.
