Nonsense. The only way this would be true is if ChatGPT's answers were as likely to be correct as random answers. They are much, much more likely to be correct, however, so their information value is greater than zero by definition.
What you're claiming is equivalent to "search engines can find incorrect information, so search engines are worthless for information retrieval". Which is bollocks.
