I think it's scary. Since ChatGPT is not a knowledge base but presents itself as one, plenty of people are going to be fooled.
The authoritative tone of ChatGPT's answers doesn't help either, since that tone will sway people into believing its mix of truths and falsehoods. We're in for a mess if this really takes off!
I mean, everyone knows Filcao pens were manufactured in New Zealand, Right??!! and
But gosh, because I'm human and don't want to confuse any new pen people who don't know, I've inserted emojis that hopefully help people understand I wrote nonsense about New Zealand. (The TRUE country is ITALY, just in case someone doesn't know.)
As for the Parkers... I depend on Parker experts and books for this sort of information. Not being an expert and not being good at retaining these details, I'd have to look up everything ChatGPT wrote in my pen books in order to find out what's true and what's not.
So anyway, I think this is a slippery slope.
