Is entirely possible to hit some search result for a real human had a code hallucination. And to the topic, on stackoverflow that would have been deleted, downvoted or corrected.

GPT will tell you it’s right… well, it’ll apologize, offer another solution that could also be wrong and now you are in a loop.

Only a computer can get stuck in a loop or a person who is insane. It's not like if you ask a person to divide by zero they will fall in to a coma or sit there computing.

I 100% believe that ChatGPT can output absolute garbage but for the same reason you don't cite Wikipedia/Google you won't be citing ChatGPT. Just like Wikipedia or Google It's just an excellent starting point to rapidly get a working draft going.
