Of course, and that is what I do, but it becomes and additional mental and time consuming effort. As an dumb example, if I am learning a new programming language and trying to grasp some concept, I'll check the docs, find the section and read it. I trust that the source in the docs has been already vetted by other devs and the authors. But if I ask the AI the same thing, I then need to verify it's claims usually by asking it to check if the info is true, and then possibly opening the source link (lucky for me Claude provides the links in the desktop app as footnotes). It's not a question about AI, it's about the trust I have of this tool, it builds over time, but as soon as the AI makes an assumption or a hallucination we are back down to square one.

I assume this will become less of an issue in the future as there is more trust between the AI tools and me.
