Not even remotely

It is different
A search result might take me to the wrong answer but an LLM might just invent nonsense answers
This is a fundamentally different thing and is more difficult to detect imo

99% of the time it's not. You validate and correct/accept like you would any other suggestion.
How have you found it not to be significantly better for those purposes?
The "not good enough for you to trust" is a strange claim. No matter what source of info you use, outside of official documentation, you have to assess its quality and correctness. LLM output is no different.
