I appreciate the honesty when they say it's an AI response and not genuine knowledge.
When I tell someone "an LLM told me that..." It's usually followed by "Let's see if there's any truth to it." An AI response should always be treated as a suggestion, not an answer.
Hell, Google's AI still doesn't know which day the F1 GP is on this week. It was wrong by a whole week a while back. Now it's only off by a day.
Exactly. An AI response can be a great way to get started on a topic you know little about, but it's never a definitive answer. You have to verify whether it's actually true. Whether it works. Never trust it blindly.
