Only if you're dumb about it. Asking for source links is one thing I do all the time, and chatgpt gives citations by default.

What's the benefit of using a chatbot if you still have to go and read all of it's sources on your own?

[tkocmathla]

The same, I suppose, as using Wikipedia to get an overview of a topic, a surface understanding, before following the citations to dig deeper and fully validate the summary.

You can get precise citations supporting the facts of interest to you, so that you don't have to dig through the sources on your own.

At least for the time being the chatbot isn't optimised to deliver as many ads or sponsored results to your eyeballs as physically possible.
