Correct....Isn't the internet wonderful?
Sometimes. Actually it can be more fun when AI gives incomplete or incorrect answers. No matter the response, it is a good idea to do more research to confirm or contradict the original content before using the information.

Wording questions the questions to get more accurate information is a science in itself at times.
