People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

It definitely is worse. Depending on which hits your doctor uses, there is legit medical knowledge on the internet, while chatgpt will just make stuff up.
I know a lot of young people see no difference between chatgpting something and googling it, and google has become really awful, but there is still a huge difference, since you can make google results better by using your brain and source criticism, while there is no such option with chatgpt.
You can prompt or customize chat to give sources. I include prompts like "check for coherence, scientific accuracy" etc. too, depending on what I'm using it for.
