https://xkcd.com/978/ The problem is that a lazy answer builds credibility for a source or fact. You may try to disclaim that it’s unreliable, but the mere act of suggesting an answer implies your own support for it.

“I’ve heard there’s studies that suggest vaccines cause autism.” is a lazy answer to the question of vaccine safety that ignores the complicated nature of academic research. What it does do is build consensus. Over time, that lazy answer repeated gets you to state where a lot of people doubt the safety of vaccines.

I realize we all live busy lives and nobody has time to research things in great depth. Some people barely research major purchase decisions. What people are trying to communicate here is that an AI answer has very low credibility along the lines of “my uncle who works at Nintendo”.

We don’t need you to act as a human interface for ChatGPT. If you want to use ChatGPT, use it as a starting point for your own research. Ask it questions like “Where could I find information on this topic?” and go from there. Of course, that’s a lot of work; but you can always choose not to post.

If you have life experiences that give you insight into a topic, or you did research and found a good source; please comment and share your insights. They add value to the conversation and it’s why most of us are here.

The lollipop really completes the bit.

Space Station 14? The fact you specified 14 instead of 13 gives me hope that it’s making good progress.
