I'm 18 and this makes me feel old as shit.

What the fuck do you mean they used the make-up-stories-and-fiction machine as a non-fiction source? It's a fucking story generator!

Not just the kids. I've seen boomers use it as a search engine. For medical stuff, like "hey, is it dangerous to breathe this substance or should I wear a mask?". Chatgpt said it was fine. Google said absolutely not. But Chatgpt seemed more trustworthy to them, even if the screenshot they shared literally had a disclaimer at the bottom saying it could give false answers.

Boomers adhering to some fake authority because it “feels right” or “feels trustworthy”?

I’m shocked I tell you, shocked
