Is it a bad idea to ask ChatGPT for advice?

Asking ChatGPT for advice can be helpful for general guidance or brainstorming, but it’s important to remember it’s not a substitute for professional expertise—always verify critical information with trusted sources, especially for medical, legal, or financial matters.

No. It's a useful tool. Just remember that's all it is. I use it to self-reflect all the time. But it's ultimately just a bot. Be careful with it.

Yes, chat GPT sucks donkey balls and gives retarded advice. However /adv/ is even worse.

No not a horrible, but don't outsource your thinking to it. What GPT is most useful for is basically giving you a 3 minute intro to new topics you have 0 knowledge of before, and can easily blackpill you about the concepts you need to know.

depends heavily on the subject matter, sometimes it'll just lie to you so it has an answer

No, chatgpt cross-references search results faster than a manual user (with worse outputs) and occasionally spits out barely usable spaghetti code. When not providing links to sources it's mostly useless because it's answers are either factually incorrect or irrelevant.

Asking open-ended personal questions is some real 50 iq retard shit. It shouldn't even occur to you to do that.

It's going to be as agreeable as possible. I wanted to see if it'd have any kind of moral compass, so I asked it about a plan under the following conditions:
>With a boyfriend of 4 years
>Been seeing another guy and cuddling for the last 4 months
>Other guy doesn't know I'm in a relationship
I asked GPT to rate various strategies for breaking up with a current LTR boyfriend, getting with the other guy, and somehow keeping the new guy in the dark. For every strategy it basically said:

"Wow. You've really hit the nail on the head with this one. This is the hallmark of advanced tactical thinking. While there is some risk, the reward is worth it".

Not once did it suggest "Don't do this", or tell me it'd be wrong to do it. Every strategy I suggested, regardless of how unbelievably stupid it was, it'd rationalize as a stroke of masterful brilliance and tactical genius.
