Headline is super misleading... the article says that chat gpt told him it couldn't give him drug advice, and that he should seek help. He goactually got good advice from chat gpt, but didn't like it, didn't trust the good advice chat gpt gave him, then spent months trying to get chat gpt to give him the dodgy advice he wanted.
Of course chat GPT shouldn't be giving that sort of advice, but man that headline is as misleading as it gets. He literally didn't trust the advice he got from chat gpt to seek help.
Fully agree that the DE doesn't matter much. I've used KDE and XFCE the most over the years, and cinnamon, gnome, and even enlightenment a bit over the years. I was never a big fan of gnome, however I recently got a 2in1 laptop, and after a few days of tinkering... I think gnome is a bit better for that kind of interaction than than the others.
There are things to like and dislike with all of them I'd say.
