Because they know it's not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.
Then why post it at all?
Because they'd still like to know? it's generally expected to do some research on your own before asking other people, and inform them of what you've already tried
AI seems to think it’s always right but in reality it is seldom correct.

People also say they googled, unfortunately
Not the same thing.
google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned
chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word
Google results are like:

Peertube is actually developed by a transphobic communist who turned my daughter gay. Boycott!!!
At this point, ad blocker is pretty much mandatory for me, just like how antivirus software used to be a decade ago (probably more)

Wanted to say: No, according to Wikipedia global search launched in 2020.
But that actually was 5 years ago, damn.
Getting older... There's a creaking in my bones... 2020 was 5 years ago...
Don't listen to him 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don't let anyone tell you different.

I have to say I think Peertube itself is good, but the content still isn't there yet. Of course we all know that's because there isn't cash to be made on Peertube

If ChatGPT said it was added five years ago, that means it was added anywhere between 13.8 billions years ago and never.

Chatgpt is wrong BTW. But yeah its been there for a long time.
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.

ChatGPT is correct? The irony of people confidently asserting that ChatGPT is wrong, while being wrong, seems to be lost on the crowd here. Kinda makes you understand why ChatGPT is often so confident even when wrong.

I must be doing something wrong or using a shit instance cause I can't find one at all but everytime I go to peertube (and I"m not searching just locally) I see like 3 videos get posted a day, most of which are videos about Lies of P or car videos. LIke there's no content.
so...what am I doing wrong?
Either poorly-federated instance, or you look in the wrong place? Here's a good one: https://peertube.wtf/videos/browse?live=false

You asked ChatGPT and thought it gave you a correct answer…? 🤣
For real though, Peertube is awesome now. Live streaming works a treat, so many plugins and add ons that make it great. Not to mention it now has its own app which is great.

How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.
