One of the scariest and most depressing aspects when it comes to ChatGPT (so far) is that people already try to use it in such a way. Same for people that are already talking about using it for medical diagnoses and such, without ever having seen a single proper independent and peer reviewed study when it comes to chatgpts accuracies in specific fields (and that is ignoring all the other potential short term and long term problems when it comes to even considering something like that).

On the bright side, dumb people have always been around. It's not like it's getting worse, in fact I would bet it's getting better. The meta-phenomenon is not something new here.

I think the problem is that people cannot envision (or cannot believe, when told) that something that can speak human language would outright bullshit its way through every single conversation. And because GPTs and chatbots are built as very convincing bullshit generators, some percent of the time (majority of the time) they will say things that check out - and that provides enough fuel to start building false assumptions that everything else it says is true.
