chatgpt outputting credible bs is EXCELLENT to the extent that it will push intelligent people into critical reading of everything around them - "[citation needed]" et al.

lazy people will just suck it up, "experts / AI said so!"

chatgpt also produces bullshit because openai has explicitly and deliberately lobotomized it against politically incorrect output

This says much more about you than about those people. Shame on you.

What kind of data would you accept as falsifying this belief?

"anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity"

when everything is on topic, nothing is

"exploiting" is a conspiracy theory
Those observations are also consistent with "Inverting cause and effect", but not in your position's favour. So one should want to investigate the directions of causality etc., instead of assuming.
news relevant to hackers ?
That's a painfully conventional response to the inquiry. Aren't you interested in the data, if it exists?
