Why communicate your own thoughts when ChatGPT can give you the Correct Answer? Saves everybody time and effort, right? I guess that’s the mental model of many people. That, or they’re just excited to be able to participate (in their eyes) productively in a conversation.

If I want the "correct answer" I'll research it, maybe even ask ChatGPT. If I'm having a conversation I'm interesed in what the other participants think.

If I don't know something, I'll say I don't know, and maybe learn something by trying to understand it. If I just pretend I know by pasting in what ChatGPT says, I'm not only a fraud but also lazy.
