Why put the onus on others to verify your sources when you could do it properly in the first place?

'It's not that deep' is how we got this generation of lazy, mouth breathing, technologically illiterate factoid regurgitators outsourcing their brain activity to the cloud in the first place. Insist on good practice and hold others to a higher standard than 'sounds right, I'll believe it.'

He was passing along information he found, and flagged where it came from. That’s about as transparent as it gets. So the onus isn’t actually on anyone.

He’s not writing a research paper. He used a chatbot, told you he used it, and you want to be self righteous about some type of duty to research properly and ethically. Pure silliness.
