Nobody claimed it was a reliable source. However, the fact is that people use it to answer questions anyway - and in cases like this, I think it’s good to let people know where you got the info so they can take it with a grain of salt. The same applies to your friend Kevin, who’s just as likely to confidently spread false info as the truth.

I don’t think that shaming people for using chatGPT is useful. They’re not going to stop using it - they’ll just not tell about it then which is worse.
