Not sure if you're being sarcastic, by for clarity, everything above the 
line ("-----") in the post you reference is my own words, not AI.

My use of "paradigm" was intentional and with an awareness of how the 
word is inaccurately thrown around. The ability of AI to source and 
summarise information compared to a google search is in my experience a 
genuine paradigm shift.

And yes, exercise caution in interpreting and verifying AI output, check 
the source references, and be aware of the inherent limitations and 
caveats with LLMs.

To reiterate my question: In the sample I posted, are there any 
factually incorrect or misleading statements from ChatGPT?
