They definitely retrieve data too, otherwise you wouldn't be able to send ask them about news events that happened yesterday and get a summary on it.
You can also get a summary on news events that didn't happen.
I guess that's on you if you're asking it something like "tell me yesterday's news". No matter your feelings on AI our current LLMs are indisputably a great tool for sending emails and summarizing large text as a draft. If you're taking the output and running with it and not relying on any other external sources or proofreading then I could see how someone could come to the conclusion it's 100% terrible awful.
Thing is they can be confidently wrong,.
yeah im not denying that but it's not black and white. people either praise it as this super intelligent AI or act like it's cleverbot 2.0. if you have low expectations and use it for what it's intended and actually take a moment to review the output then it's useful for lots of things
