I'm not seeing correct answers at an extraordinarily high rate, myself. For engineering and physics questions I get confident answers that are off by several orders of magnitude, and the sources cited tend to be only tangentially related to the query and don't answer the question themselves.
What kinds of questions are you asking?
- JohnMakin 3y agoLike the original author of this post sorta alluded to, treating it like a very junior assistant or pair programmer. Those kinds of questions. Questions I do not have time to trawl google for that are easily available knowledge. I don't expect it to be an expert - I want it to eliminate toil. It does do that.

For me, treating someone like a junior assist means teaching the respective person a huge lot of stuff in a very short time, so that he gets useful as fast as possible. :-)
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoIt does give an answer, yes. But those are the kinds of questions that I often get where the answers are badly wrong. If it's programming, that's probably fine, it's generally pretty easy to verify. If you're asking for a statistic that seems like it ought be easily available knowledge but which you couldn't find within 1 minute of checking Wikipedia, it will probably confidently tell you something badly wrong. Make sure you double check.
