Traditional search practically forces you to read the sources directly. With ChatGPT, people will just assume its citation is correct due to laziness.

I've seen this with many human published articles on the Internet too. The litany of citations fool everyone into thinking that the article is credible, but when I actually read the citations, they don't support the article at all.
