When techbros said "you can type a question and the AI will answer", they seem to have forgotten that we expect the answers to be true and accurate.

And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.

This is the main reason why AI cannot be trusted to answer science questions. They absolutely need a database of facts.
