Does it give real citations? I've heard it gives bogus citations, though can't remember how well it went last time.

I haven’t had any issues, but I’m not using it to do “real” research so the veracity of sources has been less of an issue for me. I typically ask, then spot check sources.

If I’m using it to make purchase decisions or scheduling my day then I use it purely to find me source pages.

It’s really terrible at calculating the cost of services.
