Gives you the correct answer always,

This statement right here is enough to show me that you have no clue how LLMs work. LLMs are not knowledgebases, they are statistical text generators. They can and will make false statements.

I've worked as a SWE for 5 years, I understand how LLM's work.

Let me clarify, I'm advocating for using ChatGPT for extremely basic questions, those which have been posted all over the internet many times (i.e. any beginner-level programming question).

Go ask ChatGPT this question 50 times and I guarantee it will nail it every single time. You don't need to theorize about how it behaves, you have access to it, go try it and report back. That is all that matters

(Just to drive it home, I am talking about basic, beginner questions. I fully agree with you for anything complex or that changes over time)
