I noticed that. When I ask it about things that I am knowledgeable about or simply wish to troubleshoot I often find myself having to correct it. This does make me hestitant to follow the instructions given on something I DON'T know much about.

    Exactly. I think this is a good barometer of gauging whether or not you can trust it. Ask it about things you know you're good at or knowledgeable about. If it is giving good information, the type you would give out, then it is probably OK. If it is bullshitting you or making you go 'uhh, no, actually...' then you need to do more old-school research.
