Three Years On, How Accurate Are AI Chatbots?

Three years after the official release of ChatGPT, AI chatbots have shown considerable progress in processing complex queries and summarizing information. Despite these advancements, a recent study indicates that nearly half of the responses (48%) from popular chatbots still contain accuracy issues, with 17% being significant errors. While the rate of inaccuracy has declined since late 2024, these ongoing shortcomings emphasize the need for users to be aware of the technology's limitations, especially for high-stakes applications.
