But oddly that doesn't change my opinion of ChatGPT.
The only reason I know that ChatGPT was right is because I blindly followed the first Googled suggestion.
If I started with ChatGPT, then I would have to verify the answer somehow. If I use Google, I should verify the answer. But ChatGPT cannot do that job.
Wikipedia is starting to feel as useless to me as ChatGPT. I don't know if anyone is actually replacing the articles with AI generated fiction at scale yet, or whether it's still an artisan, human-centered craft but the more I click on references, the more I find they are uncheckable, even if it's ambiguous whether they are fraudulent. People write rants on a topic and cite a single book without page numbers five times. Or, of course, dead links to websites without archive.org.
