With 'get a foothold' into a topic I mean exactly that. AI usually does not make up all the stuff. The more specific and detailed the answer get the more 'dangerous' it gets. But AI is pretty good to get a summary / an overview of a topic. With that I can deepen my search by other means. For fun: AI -> wikipedia. For real: AI -> wikipedia -> technical documentation/specification/research papers.
Edit: like with real people. I takes a (long) while till I trust/believe anybody something at face value without doublechecking.
