Ep. 5: Can You Trust ChatGPT?

In this episode, I dig into whether you can trust ChatGPT, and what that question reveals about trust in general. From model changes and user backlash to the three pillars of trust (benevolence, integrity, competency), I share why double-checking is anon-negotiable and how personal responsibility plays into using AI. We talk about media incentives, misinformation, and why “important” is a slippery, subjective word when it comes to verifying the answers that ChatGPT gives you.
