Light on primary sources.

In the future, I recommend Dikta's RabbAI. Dikta is a lab run by R Dr
Moshe Koppel, whom many of us have met or "met" online. I don't know
who wrote RabbAI.

But it's an AI that had a lot of training on rabbinic literature, as
opposed to the typical LLM which sticks to a more generic dataset. And
it isn't searching the web, it's searching the Bar Ilan CD.

As a humorous sample, here is a "teshuvah" about how one should not rely
on AI "teshuvos":

Not quite Halachipedia, Chabad.org, or a StackExchange contributor.
