Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

No, GPT will make things up. It is absolutely not a good source for factual information or advice.
So? People make shit up all the time. Unlike people, you can ask GPT multiple times and even ask for specific Google terms to check the info.
You can't ask a person the same question multiple times? Someone better tell my 3 year old.
When was the last time you asked someone "What should I Google to find 'x'"? If someone asked me for knowledge and then asked how to find more info on it I'd be happy to show them what to search, and I suspect most people with an interest in anything would do the same. Weirdly, people like sharing things. It's how we managed to survive this long.
You do not bother asking people 100 questions about mundane things, let alone questioning their answers (by asking if that is really true multiple times etc.). They would simply ignore you at some point, unless perhaps you are their child, but that is obviously a very different topic to OP.
