But how can you be certain that the answer is actually correct instead of just sounding correct?

ChatGPT can come up with completely made-up answers that just seem right.

Most companies work that way already, even small ones. Doesn’t end the world (doesn’t make it a perfect place to live in either).

That's basically as good as the average coworker in most companies, and more useful still than the lower end of coworkers I've had.

I describe AI as a new intern or assistant. Pretty useful, but don't bet your company on their answer.
