General chemistry hasn't changed much since I took it in the 80's, other than there is more emphasis on safety in the laboratory, and the use of full color in textbooks has allowed much better depictions of positive and negative charge distribution in molecules. I replaced my 80's text with a newer one about 15 years ago. I don't have much confidence in AI-generated science texts because the algorithms lack the comprehensive human knowledge of a subject required to understand it thoroughly.
Even so, most textbooks I have used do contain errors, but a good student will detect them. It's important not to accept texts in general as infallible dogma. Humans and AI are both prone to making errors without realizing it.
