To take your parenthetical further, I'm sure they'll get to that. It was only 5 years ago that searching Google for "how old is the Earth" said 6000 years because only the young Earth creationists put such a huge stake into SEO for their pages.

Google or any search engine provides links to relevant documents, whereas ChatGPT functions as a pure summary. Neither the search engine nor language model summary should be treated as authoritative, but at least a search engine cites its sources.
