Exactly. Whether it's a person, a website, or a book, we have a ton of cues that give us some sort of intuitive reliability score. That reliability is essentially never going to be 100%. But, especially if we cross-check sources, we can start to have very high confidence that an answer is true--at least as far as anyone knows. (Or even that no one really knows the answer with any certainty.)

I've had ChatGPT return very serviceable "true" results and I've had ChatGPT return utter fiction.
