Now a days people refer to AI instantly for an answer. Maybe it's a problem they could have solved within 10min in their head or a question they could have done an internet search on and read a few forums to figure out. However, now people go straight to AI which is known to give many many wrong answers.

I know a couple people that fit this bill and now I almost completely disregard what they say. We'll even be talking face to face and they'll ask AI something from our conversation in real time.

It depends what they ask.

A lot of questions are fairly accurate to ask AI.

Also, some people are smart enough to habe configured their pre-prompt to reduce common issues with AI platforms.

There's a big difference between:

"Hey whats the answer to (esoteric question)"

Vs

"Hey can you find me a paper on (well documented topic)" (and then opening the paper up and reading the actual source)

Using it as a powerful fuzzy search tool with semantic intent is fine.

Its the difference between asking a librarian how to cure cancer, vs asking the librarian to help you quickly find a book on cancer treatments.
