I tried asking chat bots about a car problem with a tailgate. They all told me to look for a manual tailgate release. When I responded asking if that model actually had a manual release, they all responded with no, and then some more info suggesting I look for the manual release. None even got close to a useful answer.
The internet doesn't effectively capture detailed knowledge of may aspects of our real world. LLMs have blind spots in those domains because they have no source of knowledge to draw from.
Prior to buying a used car, I asked ChatGPT which side of the steering wheel the indicator control would be. It was (thankfully) wrong and I didn't have to retrain myself.
