Unless you personally checked every detail and statistic in the AI-generated answer you posted, looking at sources that don't hallucinate, you don't know whether it was correct.

The AI robber barons peddlng these illegally trained tools usually add caveats warning that they get things wrong and answers need to be checked. They're not doing that out of imaginary kindness in their nonexistent hearts - they just don't want to be sued for the wrong answers their hopelessly flawed tools will inevitably give.

Even if you're willing to trust an AI tool that can hallucinate at any time, you shouldn't post what was generated by AI here without identifying it as such.

I hope you haven't been posting other AI-written answers here without explaining where you got them.
