My teachers used to say the same about Wikipedia.

I did edit heavily, this is 3 outputs combined including a fact check this using Wikipedia

It does not fail on such basic questions, “fact check this:” in a new instance works more reliably then asking a human.

and they're correct about not using wikipedia as a source, you use wikipedia as a summary and then verify the information in the ACTUAL sources it cites
