There’s nothing wrong with asking chatGPT and you should mention it as the source for your information. It’s far better than the alternative where people omit this information because of online bullies.
When ChatGPT can and does hallucinate information it disqualifies itself as a reliable source. Citing it as a source is exactly the same level as “my mate Keith said”, even if it’s more reliable on average than Keith.
Nobody claimed it was a reliable source. However, the fact is that people use it to answer questions anyway - and in cases like this, I think it’s good to let people know where you got the info so they can take it with a grain of salt. The same applies to your friend Kevin, who’s just as likely to confidently spread false info as the truth.
I don’t think that shaming people for using chatGPT is useful. They’re not going to stop using it - they’ll just not tell about it then which is worse.

Oh, they’ll tell. ChatGPT users are the vegans of the digital age.
