> The ability to cite sources

It doesn't need to cite sources, because it has learned to make them up on the fly.

Liars care about the truth; they want to subvert it. Large language models like ChatGPT don't "lie", they produce bullshit that has zero connection to what is or what isn't, but just sounds like something someone would say in that context.

It's possible, even likely, that ChatGPT and the like will help people formulate queries; but if it answers them and people somehow trust its answers, we're all doomed.
