That's the crux of the problem. People will trust what the bot says, and since critical thinking and fact checking are rarely taught any more, at least in large parts of the US, the user will believe what it says. Disclaimers won't help because users won't know what to check. Or if they are rigorous fact checkers it will be easier to just do the research themselves rather than add the extra layer the AI provides.dunbarx wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 2:04 pmChat GPT does have a disclaimer stating that one might encounter erroneous answers in its usage, and therefore to beware.
