I've only found useful answers for when I've begun something from completely zero. Things I've got even a reasonable grasp on I start to spot large dangerous holes a model very confidently claims is the right solution. Stuff like bringing camping stove inside a tent to avoid rainy weather, nevermind it being suicide at the same time.

Me too, though this is more driven by the total cliff-fall of web search result quality

I'm not sure what you used for it to tell you that?

what should I do with my camping stove if I want to avoid the rain

ChatGPT said: If you want to avoid the rain while using your camping stove, here are your best options:

Shelter Options: Use a Tarp: Set up a tarp high above your stove area with good airflow. Make sure it's not enclosed and water runs off away from you.

Camp Kitchen Tent: Lightweight pop-up canopies or dedicated camp kitchen shelters are perfect. Just make sure it’s ventilated.

Picnic Table Shelter: Many campgrounds have covered areas you can cook under — check for those.

Vestibule (Cautiously): If you have a tent with a large vestibule, you can use the stove there, only if it's very well-ventilated and you're extremely cautious (fire and carbon monoxide risks are real).

Important Safety Tips: Never use a stove inside a closed tent — risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.

Keep the stove on a stable, flat surface.

Avoid cooking right under trees with low-hanging branches.

Ensure your shelter is tall enough — heat rises.

I'm starting to think that many of the "But the AIs tell me I should drive my car off a cliff!!" posters are just making stuff up.

The problem I have with this conclusion is that "trust but verify" long predates AI models. People can, and have been, posting total bullshit on the internet since time immemorial. You have never _not_ needed to actually validate the things you are reading.
