I try using ChatGPT search to look for references related to my PhD dissertation topic. Long story short, a serious user needs to verify the truthfulness and accuracy of what it gives you. There were instances of incorrect sources as well as sources that flat out didn't exist.

2:10 First search, with my own papers being cited!
4:20 Incorrect paper citation
6:05 Incorrect author attribution on quasi-real source
7:33 Hallucinated paper that does not exist but is plausible sounding
8:50 iPhone video lost, switch over to laptop recording
11:15 Final thoughts and reflection
