The thing about ChatGPT, I don't know if the answer is wrong or made up. I have a friend who helps me with Swedish and he isn't a language tutor - so sometimes he asks ChatGPT to explain something I've asked him. The crucial difference is that he's knowledgeable enough on the matter to vet the quality and then pass the information to me. If he or I were to just ask ChatGPT without any verification, then I would not be able to trust the answer.

I don't like the idea of telling people (even smugly at worst, if it's used the way LMGTFY was, and as the tagline[1] implies) to just ask ChatGPT instead of humans.

LMGTFY returned human results that weren't SEO rubbish at the time for the most part, which you could classify yourself (or by others) as trustworthy or not. ChatGPT itself still sometimes hallucinates on pretty basic information and other users don't get exactly the same result as you.

I really try hard not to be down on stuff like this, to let it pass uncommented, but the mere creation of this site is evidence that creator missed the point of the original that they derived it from.

Back when we were smug asking people to just fn google stuff, we would be right in that they could find a correct answer out there. Today, everyone's dad work at Nintendo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just so happen to run an old online fan made Pokemon game where people can be banned for misbehavior (e.g. cheating). Let's just say I can confirm this sentiment.
