For one month beginning on October 5, I ran an experiment: Every day, I asked ChatGPT 5 (more precisely, its "Extended Thinking" version) to find an error in "Today's featured article". In 28 of these 31 featured articles (90%), ChatGPT identified what I considered a valid error, often several. I have so far corrected 35 such errors.

All of them. If you're seeing sources cited, it means it's a RAG (LLM with extra bits). The extra bits make a big difference as it means the response is limited to a select few points of reference and isn't comparing all known knowledge on a subject matter.
