I think the sentiment is better expressed as "Don't rely on it for anything important, unless you know what you're doing"
If you're already an expert in your field, then you know enough to be able to identify errors and notice problems.
A layperson with no knowledge can't make those differentiations, so shouldn't use it for important tasks.
There's a big difference between an oncologist using AI classification algorithms to detect breast cancer, and someone asking ChatGPT if a mushroom is safe.
You don't need to be an expert in your field to know that you shouldn't ask a stranger to decide whether or not to eat something potentially deadly. Sorry, but that's a fact of life. It's not like you're being forced to eat the thing.
And for the last time, identifying whether a handheld item is poisonous is not one of the use cases for ChatGPT, and you do not need to be an expert to know that. Just read the documentation.
Please stop being lazy and do your own research before you hurt yourself or someone else.
They are, uh, agreeing with you.
It's possible to be in agreement with someone and be wrong. ~ ciao <3
