For a serious answer, my biggest reservation with using ChatGPT to explain concepts I know very little about is that ChatGPT often just makes up fake information, or very confidently explains things wrong.

Having to fact-check every thing it says feels a bit exhausting.

A bit like talking to a version of Albert Einstein with dementia or alzheimers, who can still say really intelligent things but mixes in subtle bullshit.
