If you have a question about the answer have the AI review it to make sure it's correct. I have gotten it to pull it's head out of its ass numerous times. It's like a conversation with a human.

It's easy to hold it wrong if you believe things you see in print.

This is just completely disconnected from my original comment. What if someone reads "drink fruit juice to clear up kidney stones" from an AI and doesn't have a question about the answer because they don't fully understand what kidney stones are? The only response AI advocates seem to have is "not my problem." Or, far too often, the vindictive irresponsibility of "it was his fault for being so stupid that he trusted us."

It reminds me of a young Mark Zuckerberg, “they trust me. Dumb f*cks.”
