Have you checked the results it has given you? I tried it with some science related stuff. It literally made up a paper that didn't exist. I pointed this out so it linked to a real paper on an unrelated subject. For coding related stuff it is like a better stack overflow, but again it doesn't work well with niche libraries, or even some fairly big ones.

Yea, LLMs hallucinate. They almost never hallucinate if you provide the right context, either via a search enabled LLM (ChatGPT with search, or perplexity.ai or phind.com etc.) or by providing it with more code/text/input to work with.
Don't use LLMs as fact database lookup machines.
