Wikipedia is the gold standard. Good enough is asking Grok.

A Youtuber I follow got in an argument a couple of days ago with someone who kept claiming the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 was primarily voluntary (not by force or a response to threats to their safety). The Youtuber kept asking him for sources (providing his own to the contrary), and the contrarian kept, I shit you not, asking Grok and then citing Grok as his source.

We are fucked.

I’ve seen people smugly post ChatGPT screenshots without commentary with the intent of ending a conversation in a “I’m right and this proves it” way.

Of course, the wronger the answer is the more likely they are to have that attitude.

> Wikipedia is the gold standard.

LOL thanks for the laugh. The co-founders of Wikipedia have sounded the alarm that you cannot trust Wikipedia anymore. The inmates have taken over.
