    I can’t remember where I read it but someone said “LLM’s provide three types of answer: so vague as to be useless, directly plagiarized from a source and reworded, or flat out wrong but confidently stated as the truth.” I’m probably butchering the quote, but that was the gist of it.

      To me the answers are useful enough and I appreciate that it understands vague questions. When I don’t know enough about a topic to know what terms to punch into a search engine, I can use ChatGPT as a first step and go from there.
