well that's common, but the big thing is, you can see what you are working with. Big difference in at least knowing you need to try a different site when say

Google: Law about X in state1

Top result: Law about X in state3: It's illegal

Result 2 pages in: here's a list of each page and whether law X is legal in your state... (State 1 legal)

Versus chatgpt

Is X legal in state1?

Chatgpt: No
