3. Correction: You asked a hallucinating chatbot to answer a question. That isn't a deep dive. It's fake research.

You didn't identify the AI used.

Since you didn't say you checked every single detail of its answer, it's safest to assume you didn't.

Which means you offloaded factchecking to anyone reading that AI slop, taking zero responsibility for dumping possible misinformation onto DUers.

And by not identifying the AI tool, you made it impossible for anyone wanting to see if that AI would give the same answer twice to check it.
