I mean sure, you can ‘retrieve information’, with no way of knowing where the information came from, whether the source was accurate, or whether what you’ve retrieved is even remotely faithful to the source material. So basically you can’t actually retrieve anything, because it’s just mashing words together in a way that happens to sound correct most of the time.

That’s the cost of compression. You lose the source material, so it may hallucinate a bit.
You can ask it to provide a source.
Sometimes it will.
Sometimes it will make one up.
It will always make one up. Sometimes it may get lucky and the made up one exists and is relevant, but it still just made it up.
