Another interesting take on ChatGPT in networking, this time by Tom Hollingsworth in The Dangers of Knowing Everything:

In a way, ChatGPT is like a salesperson. No matter what you ask it the answer is always yes, even if it has to make something up to answer the question.

To paraphrase an old joke: It’s not that ChatGPT is lying. It’s just that what it knows isn’t necessarily true. See also: the difference between bullshit and lies.
