I don't know, I make plenty of queries that don't need verification. I would say the majority.
Write a polite email to X saying Y -> doesn't need verification.
Rewrite this in formal English for a grant application -> doesn't need verification.
How to tar gz a folder in Linux? -> doesn't need verification. When I get the answer, I will probably think "oh, sure, it was czvf". And even if I didn't know what the arguments were, I would know enough to know that a tar command isn't going to delete my files or anything like that, so I would just try and see if it worked.
Write Python code to show a box plot with such and such data -> doesn't need verification, I'm too lazy to write the code myself (or look into how seaborn worked) but once I see the code, I can quickly understand it and check that it does what it should. Or actually run it and see if it worked.
Brainstorming (give me a bunch of titles for a paper about X/some ideas about how I could do Y) -> doesn't need verification, I can see the ideas and decide which I like and which I don't.
I get that if you're a journalist, a lawyer or something like that, probably the majority of your ChatGPT queries will need verification, but that's definitely not my experience... probably because I don't often ask ChatGPT for things that I don't know, most of my use is either for things that I could do myself but require a time investment and I'd rather ChatGPT does them in a few seconds, or for brainstorming. Neither of those require a Google search at all.
