AI will give the correct, real source and then still make shit up. Bing linked to bulbapedia to tell me wailord was the heaviest Pokemon. Bulbapedia knows it isn't close, bingpt doesn't know shit.

It's funny because I've also used LLM for getting useful info about pokemon, and it didn't make any sense.

It’s fantastic at templating

Just don’t trust what it provides the template
