It's a godsend honestly. I just went back to school at damn near 40 and with a full time job. ChatGPT has made getting through my school work so much easier and faster. I would have never had the patience or time to do college work without it.
Same tbh. I'm using bing search as it gives me relevant sources as well - to fact check the output. As a bonus, it leads me to websites that aren't seo spam. Google search is officially worse than Bing in my books.
Good on us for keeping up with the times, I say.
You can get chatGPT to write something with sources listed as well, just depends on how you prompt it. I do always proofread and edit its output though. Really is a super useful tool.
Doesn't it just hallucinate a bunch of URLs?
Couple times I've used it the sources were right.
