What is the level of accuracy and truth in the answers provided by ChatGPT for general topics related to Windows, HDD/SSD/Flash memory, PC Hardware, consoles, electronics?

I usually use Windows Forum ChatGPT Costly AI Model

As a general rule, anything from chatgpt should be verified before expending too much time, money, or human life on it's answers.

In my questions I realize that some information is accurate but researching all the information he gave me is very complex because some of it I can't find on Google or it is datasheet or PDF information hidden on some website
I wonder if all these chatgpt have some source or base from which they collect the information and generate the answers?
I will give an example from the Windows Forum website, it uses GPT

ChatGPT sounds like it knows what it's talking about unless *you* know what it's talking about; then it sounds like a deranged 13 year old trying to sound smart for grandma.
