I cashed a check the other day with my name but it had the wrong address (at least an address my bank is not aware of). I asked google real quick - panicking it wouldn't go through. Google's AI came up and immediately told me to get the check re-issused, go through all this crazy hassle. First result after that, and all the results basically said - you'll be fine.

The check is cashed, and went through just fine. They only care about the name.

LLMs are bullshit machines for sure. That doesn't mean they have no value, but they can be wrong.
