I don't get why people are serious about using chatgtp for non-shitpost purposes.

It gets major, simple details completely wrong without a hint of uncertainty. I would never ever ask it a question I didn't know the answer to and trust it's output.

The only time you need it's output to be factual is the only time you cannot know if it is. That's killer.

@SirTapTap i think trusting its output would be a mistake, but it also doesn't seem bad for learning about the existence of concepts to look more into yourself~

i saw someone using it to explore how to do things in programming languages they weren't familiar with yet, so they could read the documentation about the things it suggested and mess around with the new information they had

doing that apparently got them up to speed pretty quickly, which i thought was a pretty cool idea!
