    It definitely is worse. Depending on which hits your doctor uses, there is legit medical knowledge on the internet, while chatgpt will just make stuff up.

    I know a lot of young people see no difference between chatgpting something and googling it, and google has become really awful, but there is still a huge difference, since you can make google results better by using your brain and source criticism, while there is no such option with chatgpt.

      You can prompt or customize chat to give sources. I include prompts like “check for coherence, scientific accuracy” etc. too, depending on what I’m using it for.
