ChatGPT, at least in these early stages, has a tendency to "hallucinate" that is, make things up. How can you tell if your answer is right? Here's a few things to try.

Ask for Citations, ... And Then Follow Up

The best way to check if ChatGPT is making stuff up is to ask for citations and then check them on Google or your favorite search engine  to see

  • If they exist and
  • stand for the principle that ChatGPT has cited. 

ChatGPT 4.0 is only up to date through September 2021, and laws can and do change.

But mostly, laws don't change frequently, or at least not a lot. 

So the answer you get will probably be close, and it will:

  • probably give you a good place to start learning about what you need to know and have to do to take care of the matter you are faced with, and
  • hopefully give you a vocabulary of names of procedures which you can then drill down and ask about, and
  • Link to websites that deal with the procedures that are mentioned.
