Hot Take:

Well, well, well, it seems like ChatGPT has been moonlighting as a tour guide for the sketchy back alleys of the internet! Who knew that an AI's idea of "current and authoritative" would lead us straight to Scamsville, pop-ups included? I guess when it comes to sourcing, ChatGPT is less like a meticulous librarian and more like that one friend who swears by the healing powers of crystals found at the gas station. 🤷‍♂️
