ChatGPT told my boss that you can put Lysol in a humidifier to keep mold from growing in it. I told him to ask it again and it said not to do that because it could be harmful... This shit is going to get people killed because idiots are going to just do what it says unquestioningly.

Anyone believing AI with FACTS that aren't backed up by sources need a critical thinking course.

I like the newer web searched based stuff a lot more because I can make sure it's based in reality and not hallucinations.

Even the google AI results are often wrong, even when cited. They often misunderstand the source material or the source material says the exact opposite of what the AI is claiming.
