For the love of everything, CHATGPT IS NOT A PRIMARY SOURCE. Always assume every fact it spits out is made up.

Good thing then that I didn't use it as a primary source. :-)

it's not a source at all, it's definitionally bullshit because the LLM has no concern for the truth. Never post LLM text. Anyone can get that for themselves. To do so is an insult to the comment section. I'm not here to read bot summaries. If you ask the bot something and then it leads you to a source and then you read that and then you put that in your own words, that's a comment worth reading.

what you did is like farting in a crowded space. STINKY AND RUDE

unless you know, it gives you verifyable sources to dig in deeper to verify - much like Google search (minus the ads on top) :)

But you wouldn't post your google search either.

Lmgtfy links were extremely common around 2010, so ppl totally did

(Which is besides the point even, as the comment referencing chatgpt also provided links to sources)

why wouldn’t I if asked to provide source(s) for my “claim(s)”?
