At this point I generally stick to specific small problems like "How can I write a script to convert a Product from the Stripe API into my custom interface?" or "How do I do this thing in SQL". I trust these answers because I can verify by reading and running the actual code.
For more open ended questions I tend to treat it more like a random comment in a forum. For example, I often notice that Typescript code examples don't use the `function` keyword often, they tend to use anonymous functions like `const func = () => blah`. I asked ChatGPT why this is and it gave a plausible answer, I have no idea if what it's saying is true, but it seemed true enough. I give the answer the same amount of trust as I would some random comment on Stack Overflow. The benefit of Stack Overflow though is at least you know the reputation of the person you're talking to.
