“We should all abide by what my industry’s malpractice insurance carrier advises: Treat all results generated by artificial intelligence as if they were created by a young, untrained staff member — and review accordingly.

Never publish or rely on anything provided by a Chatbot or AI search engine unless you check the sources. The same is true for patching-related information. Often reports are based on isolated or repeated events. Someone posts on Reddit as well as an answers forum. AI might see that as multiple reports even though the same person is reporting the same issue in multiple locations.”

Sounds like good advice!
