The majority of people using AI use it to ask a question, and AI will reliably spit out the wrong answer. This 'alpha' product is pushed absolutely fucking everywhere, is currently terrible to use properly for 99% of people, and online in less techy spaces people try AI like it's always correct.

If you can spend the time to filter out it's constant lies, good for you, most people don't even know it's constantly lying.
