When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

Why the fuck do people ask ChatGPT for shit like this? ChatGPT doesn't know facts. It's a magic 8-ball with more words.

Asking chatgpt can be super useful to get info. I just don't understand why people don't try to verify what it says before just re-posting like fact.

Why bother even using CGPT when you have to go elsewhere to verify everything it says anyway?

It depends on the type of facts, but sometimes it's much easier to verify an answer than to get the answer in the first place. For example sometimes the LLM will mention a keyword that you didn't know or didn't remember and that makes googling much easier.
