If I have to check a list of sources to make sure what ChatGPT spat out was accurate, why don't I just skip the middleman and make that determination with my own brain? That's what I don't get. Is that a skill that's being lost now or something?
I mean, I use it a lot for programming. I try the solution given and if it doesn't work/breaks then I go double-check the sources to see what they actually said.
But generally it's "good enough" the first time around, or it gives me an alternate way of thinking about the problem that I didn't consider.
I use it for programming too, but programming is deterministic -- if the code doesn't work, you know what the AI gave you is incorrect. I had a question regarding which types of glasses to get for an astigmatism recently which maybe the AI could help me with, but I don't necessarily trust it to give me the correct information when I then need to go and gamble my money on purchasing the correct product for my needs.
In a scenario like that, having recommendations from lots of different people is far more useful. They can tell you about those unique idiosyncrasies of reality that aren't able to be found on the Wikipedia page or outdated news article the AI is referencing to build you its answer.
