The problem is that people also sometimes get stuff wrong and hallucinate. So ChatGPT is just mimicking how we behave and it seems completely normal.

While it's true humans are fallible, it is more clear what someome should and should not get wrong, and we can make safer assumptions about the knowledge we get from certain individuals. ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything, you can get it to be right and wrong about the same detail in the same conversation. It's not clear what it should be correct about, and so it's a pretty poor source of information.
And then there are trolls.
