You can specify for some of them that it provide you with a confidence rating and ask for a source a lot of the time too, and I always recommend verifying on important stuff. If you’re just troubleshooting dumb/basic stuff it’s better than reading through an enshittified SEO website and pretty low risk.
I’m not an advocate for them for many reasons but at my work they’re actually doing a decent job of teaching us how to use them helpfully (and not in a way that replaces what our job is).
Yeah I find them quite useful for “explain to me how this works” kind of stuff whereas for “how do I do this” kind of stuff I try to find a primary source to verify against just to be sure.
LLM’s have provided me pretty good info where a Google search didn’t, but there’s always that concern that the info isn’t right.
