Comment on Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims

Yes, I know this. I assume that was a given. The point is that it is marketed and sold to people as an one stop shop of convenience to searching. And that tons of people believe that. Which is very dangerous. You misunderstood.
My point is not to point out whether it knows it is right or wrong. Within that context it is just an extremely complex calculator. It does not know what it saying itself.
My point was, that aside the often cooked-in bias, of how often, or the propensity of often they are wrong as a search engine. And that many people do not tend to know that.
