     @thomasfuchs cynically, I think all people should have at most 90% credence in Things People Say Online

     @thomasfuchs This one is tricky though because if you look through actual search results you find two answers with roughly equal amounts of support. Which really sucks if you want to know the answer (I'm still wondering), but also means it makes no sense to ask a stochastic parrot about it either

     @thomasfuchs Its not okay and shouldnt be encouraged but at the same time real people think you can heal cancer with magic rocks. And thats not even a recent thing thats been around for literal decades with people making up clinics and credentials for their bs.
