ChatGPT is reasonably good at parroting the more frequently expressed opinions as written by others. That seems like it would be a decent match to both turn up unknown-to-GP tools as well as surfacing frequently cited evaluation elements.

ChatGPT doesn’t have an inherent bias towards truthfulness, but it does have a bias towards repeating things it has “read”, so to the extent that those tend towards truthful over false, it has an emergent bias towards truthfulness.

Precisely. It gives me the sum total of the dev community's biases.

Had I asked someone, I would just get one person's opinion.

...Or an answer generated by ChatGPT, because people tend to do that when they don't know what to say.
