ChatGPT calculated taxing U.S. billionaires at the 22% rate of average Texans would generate $161 billion to $1.37 trillion annually depending on how you tax.

Edit: I posted this because I would imagine LLMs to have readily accessible figures that random reporters may not.

    So, we are citing ChatGPT for news now?

    And not even trying to hide the fact?

    Jesus. We’re cooked.

      ChatGPT was cited as source. That’s not terrible. To not double-check those numbers is not great, but we aren’t doomed because it was cited. We would be doomed if this became the norm.

        If I can’t cite Wikipedia as a source in a school paper, journalists shouldn’t be allowed to cite ChatGPT for an article.

        Research is part of their job.
