> Just because AI found an answer doesn't mean it's not true Sure. But using AI for factual information seems akin to a form of gambling. ;)

  To be fair I treat AI in the same way I treat other human beings; if claims are made then they better be backed up by a reputable source. ChatGPT is very good at giving me a link to a source. Friends making outrageous claims, not so much.

    That seems like a reasonable approach, if you're at least skimming the source afterwards to verify. It'd be good if most people did that as a bare minimum, though it doesn't seem to be how it's often done currently.
