And in that way its actually more overall correct than the most knowledgeable person on earth. With google you also get fed some very dangerously wrong info (recent example masks) but you think its correct. With ChatGPT you have to actually use your critical thinking skills and get to the truth which in my opinion a huge advancement over google.

Not really, with google you get multiple sources at a glance. Sure, they can still be wrong, but some critical thinking + multiple sources = more likely to be correct than relying on a single unreliable source.

No, the crucial thing is that a good human will tell you if they don't know something, or if they are simply unsure.

It's adorable seeing this kind of critique in the context of HN, I wonder how many folk knew my heavily upvoted comment above ("For 10 billion+ ...") was from someone who has only been looking at this stuff for a few weeks. ChatGPT is no better or worse than any consultant I've ever met (including myself), or most of the commenters you find here every single day.

It's adorable that you think people assume HN comments are factually correct. I read everything here with extreme skepticism, because I know this is all coming from flawed humans. An computer system giving authoritative text and insisting it is 100% correct is a different story.

Every bit of text from a computer system also comes from flawed humans.
