But fundamentally the reason ChatGPT became so popular as opposed to its incumbents like Google or Wikipedia, is that it dispensed with the idea of attributing quotes to sources. Even if 90% of the things it says can be attributed, it's by design that it can say novel stuff.

Maybe you can't just do things
