It's not merely a preconception. It's a rather obvious and well-known limitation of these systems. What I am decrying is that some people, from apparent ignorance, think things like "ChatGPT can give a reliable cancer treatment plan!" or "here, I'll have it write a legal brief and not even check it for accuracy". But sure, I agree with you, minus the needless sarcasm. It's useful to prove or disprove even absurd hypotheses. And clearly people need to be definitely told that ChatGPT is not always factual, so hopefully this helps.
I'd say that a measurement always trumps arguments. At least you know how accurate they are, this statement cannot follow from reason:
That's useful. It's also good to note that the information the agent can relay depends heavily on the data used to train the model, so it could change.
