Listen to better podcasts. :P
There are podcasts for almost every topic where experts are present. Journalists, Scientists, Activists, Researchers etc. can be heard in podcasts, I don't really see why it's generally a mistake to listen to a podcast to learn important information.
During the pandemic my partner was attending university from home and listening to their professors via MS Teams, these classes were also recorded so that they could listen to them at a later point. In some ways that's just a professional podcast.
And depending on the class and the institution, I may still trust ChatGPT more than what gets taught.
There are tons of podcasts involving experts talking about their field of expertise, how can it be a mistake to listen to such podcasts to gather information?
There is no “sort by accuracy” button in any podcasting app, nor are they peer reviewed.
Furthermore, podcasts are not a review of the body of knowledge on a subject; they’re often a complete layperson interviewing a single member of a given field, at best. Almost never do the views of any individual actually represent any field as a whole.
So once we’ve thrown out the concept of accuracy and completeness, ChatGPT fares exceedingly well in comparison. You’d do much worse than ChatGPT for idle conversation level accuracy.
Yes, they have.
Setting aside the many individuals who currently lead their fields, history is filled with groundbreaking heretics.

You, most importantly, are complete garbage at telling the difference between a crackpot and an innovator in a field you know nothing about.
Trying to drink unpasteurized knowledge will infect you a lot more quickly than it will enlighten you.
It's not censorship, propaganda and official disinformation, it's "Pasteurized Knowledge®"
That's what flat-eartherism is, that's what jewish space lasers are. The argument you're giving is a tacit endorsement of that kind of "inquiry", which for reasonable people is unconscionable.
