I've had people tell me "Of course, I'll verify the info if it's important", which implies that if the question isn't important, they'll just accept whatever ChatGPT gives them. They don't care whether the answer is correct or not; they just want an answer.
That is a valid tactic for programming or how-to questions, provided you know not to unthinkingly drink bleach if it says to.
Well yeah. I'm not gonna verify how many butts it takes to swarm mount everest, because that's not worth my time. The robot's answer is close enough to satisfy my curiosity.
For the curious, I got two responses with different calculations and different answers as a result. So it could take anywhere from 1.5 to 7.5 billion butts to swarm mount everest. Again, I'm not checking the math because I got the answer I wanted.
