If AI produces a correct answer for something you know, there's no guarantee that it produces the correct answer for something you don't know. I'd rather find a way to verify that answer, if that answer has any importance.


It is not just for AI. The same can be said of Wikipedia, if correctness matters, for example if you are writing an article/paper/essay, go for primary sources, not Wikipedia, and certainly not ChatGPT.

You can use them as a starting point though.


Perplexity adds citations to the end of each statement. Its nice to be able to go to the primary source and verify whether its mixing anything up.


This is just unrealistic, if I have to check the sources every time I'd rather Google it.


Same. This is why I don’t really use AI in my everyday workflow other than for brainstorming.
