Of course, AI does not exempt one from using common sense. Often, one must first clearly and explicitly disagree with the AI when it says something nonsensical when "shooting from the hip". This is often followed by a genuinely good response. It's human—"shooting from the hip" saves energy and often gets the job done.

AI always produces answers that sound plausible even when they are wrong.
I just searched for "Squeezebox backup alarm" and the AI generated answer included this. None of it is true but it sounds as though it could be

"Adding a fallback alarm signal
You can add a fallback to your alarm signal in the Squeezebox server settings.
Set up a backup alarm signal to play in case the internet radio station is unreachable.
You can also play a local audio file from your music library, or a device's default beep, as a fallback.
When the network connection is unstable, this fallback will trigger instead of the alarm failing completely."

The good thing is the AI always stays polite and easy going - even if you contradict quite clearly. I wish this was common among human intelligence to a similar extent.
I admit I usually manage to stay polite even when the AI is just telling bullshit....

I would prefer if it wasn't so confident about the bullshit. When you know some of it is clearly wrong you doubt the parts that may be correct. When you know someone is a liar the default is to disbelieve everything they say

That's indeed one of the serious issues mentioned earlier...

In my experience it's still a good idea to simply write something like "I don't think that this is correct." And AI will correct itself.

The less you know about the topic at hand, the more likely AI can fool you. But that's pretty much the same as when asking any expert in any forum. Many people (for whatever reason) seem to immediately trust in the first reply they get. I'll never understand that. But you cannot judge the quality of an answer unless you have acquired at least some basic knowledge. In the absence of the latter, AI answers are on average probably just as good (or even better) as any anonymous reply on the internet.

Treating the results with some scepticism and doing counter checks is part of learning curve.

Indeed .
However, I can understand that some very helpful people in this forum feel "abused" when they answer a question that can be looked up in the manual within a few minutes.
In the end it's their choice to do so....

AI: I often use AI for questions that I could find the answer to by looking up some ten websites, but AI is so much faster at reading websites. It processes information so quickly that I'm not sure I'd end up using the same amount of energy.
I'm afraid a plain "Google" search will be history in very few years - with all the associated issues that AI may bring.

My experience of AI answers for questions on subjects that I know a lot about, is that is is at best inconsistent and quite often wrong.

 

[Nanook]

That's not my experience, but it may depend on the field of knowledge - mostly technical in my case.
The AI tries to get along with what it was trained with (-> energy efficient). Once you contradict or question the answer the AI starts to search the internet for information on a couple of search terms. This may comprise a hundred or more websites if I believe the numbers Gemini has indicated.
After searching for "specific information" the answers and overviews get a lot better.

And of course I do give very precise background information on the topic before I ask a question and send the inquiry.
It's like with humans - A poorly phrased question will usually result in a poor answer.

Edit: And most importantly, always ask open-ended questions, not leading questions. The AI will immediately jump on your bandwagon and start pleasing you.
