Presumably everyone could have asked chatgpt.

[tehlike]

Yes, but i gave my first answer myself.

And yes, this was easily google'able too.

[buzzerbetrayed]

Just like how everyone could have googled it. What’s your point?

Their point is that quoting chatgpt is a bad comment.

What's your point? It would be just as bad for someone to google a question and copy the first result snippet verbatim. So you've successfully brought up another bad way to comment.

I'm a scuba-diver and qualified marine archaelogist with a long-standing interest in archaeology and history.

I used Google to find suitable lay-descriptions/citations for the topics I already knew about (UK law on treasure and maritime law on salvage), and to understand more about applicable laws in the USA.

tehlike's neither showed any sort of authority nor did his reference of chatgpt. I would have preferred your comment.

[tehlike]

If you don't believe what otherwise sounds reasonable take, I don't know what to tell you. I mentioned it as a good starting point if s/he so cares to read further.

Either way, feel free to down vote.

I misread the [flagged] as a reply to my message (and the subsequent comments as responses to a thread I was involved in).

Apologies for the out-of-context comment on this thread.
