The problem is, you can't trust ChatGPT to not lie to you.

And since generative AI is now being used all over the place, you just can't trust anything unless you know damn well that a human entered the info, and then that's a coin flip.

OTOH, you also can't trust humans not to lie to you.

The newer ones search the internet and generate from the results not their training and provide sources.

So that's not such a worry now.

Anyone who used ChatGPT for information and not text generation was always using it wrong.
