I've been developing understanding from using it for coding. I guess a lot of us are developing this understanding. It is very trustable about high level things many people know. As the knowledge is more specific or esoteric the less trustworthy it is. If my mom asks it questions about my work industry, they are vague and high level enough that chatgpt is very accurate in it's answers. If I ask it probing questions I care about my industry it hallucinates or fails to grasp key terminology. So, if I was OP, likely asking it broad questions about things I know very little about is quite safe. Going too far down a rabbit hole to something super specific I would want to verify on Wikipedia.
