Yesterday, the link between ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha was set up (announcement was March 23rd 2023 ) which was probably the driver for the reddit post - a user trying out the new capability.

A bit of side commentary: I actually see these new AI tools as key facilitation tools in the next step into the world that Neal Stephenson envisions in the Book "Fall": a future that is a full-on information dystopia where the quality of your information filtering capabilities determines the quality of information you see.... because the internet and associated information sources are completely filled of with information that is just so slightly, but intentionally, wrong or off.

- weaksauce 4y agomy brother has gone down the path of an incredibly shallow information diet filled on outrage. he used to be, at least through my prior lens, a pretty decently smart person. I'm not sure what happened to him but the critical thinking just got lost somehow. it's painful to watch and these new ways of deceiving give me little hope.
