I'd say that a measurement always trumps arguments. At least you know how accurate they are, this statement cannot follow from reason:

The JAMA study found that 12.5% of ChatGPT's responses were "hallucinated," and that the chatbot was most likely to present incorrect information when asked about localized treatment for advanced diseases or immunotherapy.

That's useful. It's also good to note that the information the agent can relay depends heavily on the data used to train the model, so it could change.
