It's an AI generated answer. That's always the problem so you shouldn't be using it as a factual information source.

- fennecfoxy 1y agoTo be fair I treat AI in the same way I treat other human beings; if claims are made then they better be backed up by a reputable source. ChatGPT is very good at giving me a link to a source. Friends making outrageous claims, not so much.
