Morally and for their own benefit, is it best for people to stop using ChatGPT? It seems like the value is not particularly in ChatGPT itself, but the users feeding it data. Should we be using an AI that is controlled by OpenAI?

#3In my view people should certainly stop using these LLMs as a source of truth.
What worries is that they're often so close to the truth that people start taking what it tells them at face value without stopping and thinking to double check.

I feel like the answer is somewhere in the middle. You can use it but you will have to double-check everthing to the extent that unless you feel confident you can do that responsibly and quickly, you should ask yourself if you're actually saving enough effort to justify pressing on with that in mind
