How often do you use ChatGPT?
This is a really interesting poll.
I'm an about-weekly. I use it for cocktail recipes, cooking, gardening, and research for work and school.
I've found it really helpful. I almost never use the output directly; it's almost always for research.
Occasionally I'll share the content directly with colleagues; "here's what chatGPT says." I haven't ever passed off the output as my own work.
I think for me it replaces my previous research process: complicated Google queries, reading through Wikipedia articles and websites, and then writing it up as bullet points.
I know a lot of people are upset that chatGPT doesn't credit original authors, but I wasn't doing that in my previous work for private research anyway. 
@evan i mean, you might not have been citing them, but you were probably evaluating their trustworthiness on some level subconsciously, right? like you're not going to trust a fox news or breitbart article
@shoofle yes, and I'm doing that with ChatGPT, too. I use it as a jumping off point for research, and don't take it's output as gospel.
@evan well yeah, but you can't examine chatgpt's sources.
@shoofle sure, but I don't need to ensure that its recommendations for berry bushes in southern Quebec's climate come from unimpeachable sources. I just look up those species on Wikipedia to double-check.
