Except chatGPT was trained in no small part on data from reddit, Twitter, etc - so asking chatGPT basically is listening to random anecdotes shared by random people, only with the added complication that if someone spews BS on here, they're at least somewhat likely to be called out, whereas ChatGPT will just present it as the definitive truth
"so asking chatGPT basically is listening"
No. I disagree. You're minimizing the math.
" if someone spews BS on here, they’re at least somewhat likely to be called out"
Great, and if someone is using the internet in 2023 and believes everything they read, the problem isn't who or where they're sourcing their information.
Garbage in, garbage out. The "math" doesn't change that simple truism.
Also, the fact that chatGPT it's prone to making shit up isn't conjecture, it's fact. It can be a super useful tool for some use cases, but getting medical advice? Yeah fuck no lol
