You are going to see a lot of people (both hype and skeptic) tell you things that you can verify. Even while you have a screenshot verifying the opposite of what they are claiming, they will continue to claim it.

For skeptics in particular, you will be able to use a top tier llm and see: does this do the thing someone is claiming it doesn't do? It often will. If you look at recently submitted papers by skeptics you will see them making a claim about state of the art LLMs but then only test using versions from over a year ago (this has happened recently!^)

The way for you to be sure what is what is to just use the thing for yourself and decide what is true.
