"Facts" from Google are often wrong, and dangerously so. Most of the time it feels like a simple algorithm read the first search result for the question and then attached the first number it found on that page.

Same with anything ChatGPT tells you, except it manages to sound much more convincing than Google does.

It depends, I asked about geocaching and it was spot on. Then I asked about the summary of the "Getting things done" book, and yes, it was surprisingly bad, like 50% correct with some misleading statements.

Oh yeah it’s not always wrong, just often enough and convincing enough that it would be dangerous to rely on it.
