Absolutely the case, but also people make up stuff online all the time, so google has this exact same problem.

No. Google gives you the source. ChatGPT does not.

It’s funny because when I was in high school the argument was always “books, published articles and other print media are actual source material, Google doesn’t give you that”

Google gives you sources, determining reputability is your task.

You think Google does not provide results from books, published articles, etc? Really?

[gremlinsinc]

Probably not when op was in high school, if they were still using books over web tools. I'm guessing before 2004? How old is google scholar?

[jamesfinlayson]

Google Books is from 2004 but I don't remember seeing in search results until the 2010s.

At least with Google you have sources you can trust more than others whereas ChatGPT is a black box
