No, GPT will make things up. It is absolutely not a good source for factual information or advice.
So? People make shit up all the time. Unlike people, you can ask GPT multiple times and even ask for specific Google terms to check the info.
You can't ask a person the same question multiple times? Someone better tell my 3 year old.
When was the last time you asked someone "What should I Google to find 'x'"? If someone asked me for knowledge and then asked how to find more info on it I'd be happy to show them what to search, and I suspect most people with an interest in anything would do the same. Weirdly, people like sharing things. It's how we managed to survive this long.
You do not bother asking people 100 questions about mundane things, let alone questioning their answers (by asking if that is really true multiple times etc.). They would simply ignore you at some point, unless perhaps you are their child, but that is obviously a very different topic to OP.
