ChatGPT doesn't "almost certainly" give you a wrong answer (especially if you're not asking it math problems). The reason that it hallucinating sometimes is so bad is that it happens _rarely_. If it happened all the time, you'd never use it or trust it. It's just that it happens _enough_ that it's annoying to have to double check everything.

If you “have to double check everything”, what’s the point? Skip the AI and do the check you were going to do anyway.
