I check and triple check every answer. It's rarely incorrect in my experience.
But the fact is that you need to check every time to be sure it isn’t the rare inaccuracy. Even if it could cite sources, how would you know it was interpreting the source’s statements accurately?
imo, it’s useful for outlining and getting ideas flowing, but anything beyond that high level, the utility falls off pretty quickly
Ya it's great for exploring options. Anything that's raw textual is good enough to give you a general idea. And moreoftenthannot it will catch a mistake about the explanation if you ask for a clarification. But actual code? Nah, it's about a 50/50 if it gets it right the first time and even then the style is never to my liking
