> Aside from whether it is correct If it's mind boggling to you I would ask chatgpt, it's mind boggling to me that you don't care whether it is correct... But if you generally think chatGPT produces garbage, I guess that makes sense. I disagree, to me it's a good initial query, replacing google. As with google before, it is not authoritative (e.g AI may hallucinate, or google may land you on some SEO bs page), but I don't tend to dismiss its use outright.

To use your Google analogy, it’s the equivalent of posting: > I googled and these are the results (…) and then copy pasting the first page of results.

Nor do I dismiss it, in fact I was just using it to help me research something. I just don’t need people on the internet telling me what it said.

  If I had just said, “from what I can tell after briefly researching” maybe I wouldn’t be taking so much heat on this one - the point wasn’t chatgpt, but to raise a point that hadn’t yet been raised in this discussion- what exactly is legal in this situation. But I will take the L on this one as it seemed to be received as if I was delighted to show the world I could use chatgpt lol. And underlying all of this is a sense that maybe nobody is in the mood to explore the finer points or these terrible acts. I can accept that.
