Agreed. What is it with everyone wanting to see Chat GPT only in the light of accessing information and then complaining about it?

Because thats what you do to evaluate it as a service?
It makes me wonder if these people have ever talked to a real person before. Spoiler: real people can be wrong too!
Real people take longer to be wrong. The potential volume one bad actor can generate matters; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop is a dangerous enough technique when someone has to actually physically come up with the bullshit.

"Gish gallop as a service", essentially.

You can trust your friends to not straight up make up facts when they don't know something, like Chat-GPT does, for example.
