Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

"Quiet, Piggy." He's said horrible things, worse than this, but I keep thinking about this moment since reading about it and seeing the video. The contempt, the sheer malice in his words, tone, and gesture. This is an angry, dangerous, loathsome person and more people need to call out this behavior.
