    Because forum posts are always full of accurate and helpful information?

    Not necessarily, but at least there’s much more opportunity for other people to jump in and correct false info or expand upon something. It’s by no means a flawless system, but it’s better than only have one source of information

      When we use forums there’s also an opportunity to correct (or be corrected) on how we deal with problems.

      I’ve seen a few times people asking how to do X while they’re actually trying to do Y. ChatGPT would gladly direct them to the wrong path.
