That makes more sense, using it to check for mistakes and such.
I just think expecting it to initiate too much will distort
or replace what the original writer was intending.

But we are seeing many cases where it is doing things that
are intelligence oriented, like telling lies to make a point
or, as I mentioned, rather than admitting it can't find an answer
it will often give you back incorrect information.

Example.. I hoped it could tell me what the selling price of a
property near me was. Turned out that info wasn't yet available
online, but it came back saying it sold for full asking price
rather than admit it couldn't find it.

But there is going to be some of the people who wrote it in the
programming and perhaps those bad habits are picked up that way.

Yes, in a plain research area is where it should shine.

Some of the areas where it makes errors are amazing though.
I was looking up an amount paid monthly for something and the
search engine uses AI to come up with the initial reply, and it
somehow took the figure of something over $1000 a month and said
that would total $1700 a year..

That's math that an 8 year old could do..  B)
