ChatGPT sometimes gives incorrect or outdated answers, how can you verify the information it provides?

ChatGPT is a tool trained on a vast amount of text data, but:

Its knowledge base is updated periodically (depending on the model).

It does not have direct access to real-time information unless using an internet search feature.

It sometimes confuses or provides outdated information (especially on rapidly changing topics like legislation, technology, medicine, or news).

How to verify information:

Check important facts on official websites, in scientific publications, or reliable sources.

Look for confirmation across several independent sources.

If needed, rephrase your query and ask ChatGPT for a source link (if supported by its functionality).

💬 If ChatGPT provides outdated or incorrect information, we recommend leaving feedback via Xolvie or the internal feedback form. This helps improve model quality!
