About that “cites real sources”: yes it cites its sources but it can still hallucinate. I have had it give me wrong answers, and when l looked through its cited sources, none of then supported its answer.

I do however still use it and find it extremely useful, simply because regular web search has gotten so bad, and sifting through all the garbage from a regular search to find the meat is time consuming drudgery. I think of AI as useful for doing certain kinds of informational drudgery, but you have to always keep in mind how fallible it is.
