People already don't do that with our current tools, what makes anyone believe it will happen with ChatGPT? Especially when they now have to go back to their favorite search engine to find those sources and validate them.

It's as if everyone has forgotten how humans behave, they don't even read or go to actual wikipedia sources that are properly laid out! Nevermind having to go find trustworthy sources.

I don't really care about how others use it. I myself find it enough useful and productive to use it, and what I wrote before is how I "protect" myself. As you say, people who don't check sources won't do so with or without GPT4.

It's useful to learn new tips and tricks. e.g. the GPT4 demo showed me how to get much better code output.

Maybe you'll eventually care about how others use it when your trustworthy sources are flooded with irrelevant, outdated, and downright false information due to the constant generation of "kind of true" content.

I mean like it already currently is?

spoiler: the vast vast vast vast vast majority absolutely will not ever do that
