Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

How has this been received?

I imagine that pretty soon using ChatGPT is going to be looked down upon like using Wikipedia as a source

I would never accept a student’s use of Wikipedia as a source. However, it’s a great place to go initially to get to grips with a topic quickly. Then you can start to dig into different primary and secondary sources.

Chat GPT is the same. I would never use the content it makes without verifying that content first.

Is it not already? I've found it to be far less reliable than Wikipedia.

[–] Atramentous@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

This is why I read through everything I use to make sure it’s accurate.

Well the people that use it know that, but for the average person, chatgpt still has a high reputation
