My anecdote with technical information is exactly the opposite, unfortunately.
I routinely use it to help guide my research - generally about topics I know something about but want to know more.
It often will provide some response that is entirely wrong but looks very good. When called out, it apologizes, then proceeds to produce more information that's also not entirely correct. There's an artform to teasing out the right answer... but of course you have to be knowledgeable enough to know what is right in the first place.
The subtleties of correct or wrong can be very difficult to determine for a layperson. Without deep knowledge, one might be inclined to believe the first response it provides.
That's pretty terrifying when you think of the possible implications revolving around research, law, etc.
