“Fall down” doesn’t mean they’re always wrong. It means they’re right just often enough to make you believe them when they’re making stuff up, which is a terrible characteristic for a teacher.

At this point, ChatGPT is good enough that I can tell what authoritative source I should go look at for the answer, which is great, but I’m not going to believe any statements it makes without checking. I think people suffer a bit of Gell-Mann amnesia when dealing with ChatGPT.

I actually do get a lot of value from ChatGPT as a self-motivated learner with a specific goal in mind, but that’s not the scenario we’re talking about.
