Yea, I'm in a particular health community. A lot of anxious individuals, for good reason, end up posting a lot of nonsense they derived from self-influenced chatgpt conversations.

That said, when used as a tool you have power over - ChatGPT has also freed up some of my on anxiety. I've learned a ton thanks to ChatGPT as well. It's often been more helpful than the doctors and offers itself as an always available counsel.

Another user above described the curve as K-shaped and that resonates to me as well. Above a certain line of knowledge and discernment the user is likely to benefit from the tool. Below the line, the tool can become harmful.
