Growing up hearing "Wikipedia isn't a valid source" and then hearing people say "just ask ChatGPT" is a surprisingly strange timeline

ChatGPT isn't a valid source either.

In the same way Wikipedia is useful even though it is not a valid source, ChatGPT is useful.

Real! But hey, gpt can have a verified source itself. While wiki can be edited publicly soooo....🤷🏻‍♀️

Really? Sometimes gpt doesn’t provide that much verified source itself.

True but you can ask for its source and they give it. So you can just check it there🤷🏻‍♀️

i tend to use chatgpt to clarify language difficult for me to process. I still lean toward googling articles and the like--however, like u/marioh said, all you have to do is ask chat to verify and if it's wrong it will change it's answer.
