> Most of the times I want an answer or a solution
Are you not interested in ensuring that the answer or solution is based on the most authoritative information that exists, the source material on which all regurgitations are based? Do you generally not read technical specifications or research papers, and instead prefer the kind of content that is accompanied by a green check mark?

Not OP, but I'll answer: No, I am almost never interested in finding the most authoritative source for anything, because the effort vs. reward of those searches is not favorable and the cost of being incorrect on any given point is pretty dang low. EDIT: However, with respect to the idea of using ChatGPT for answering general knowledge questions - there's enough demonstrations of it providing fabricated information that I've adopted the low-cost heuristic of not trusting ChatGPT for anything and preferring to seek information elsewhere. I guess this means I seek moderately-authoritative sources (say, Wikipedia) as a general rule.
