AI Thread Summary
Physicsforums.com is highlighted as a valuable online community for discussing physics and related subjects, offering forums for various sciences and math, as well as a homework help section. The platform is noted for its friendly and knowledgeable members who can provide insights and assistance. However, users are cautioned to apply critical thinking and verify information, as some members may share incorrect or misleading content. The conversation also touches on the distinction between ChatGPT and a fictional "ChatGPS," humorously critiquing the latter's navigation errors, particularly in critical driving situations. Overall, while Physics Forums is a useful resource, it should not be the sole information source for important academic or research decisions.

Nope, not here. I got 1. Khan and 2. MIT which are good answers to "learn physics". Number 8 was SE which I do not recommend at all.

In regards to the last paragraph, I am guessing that it did not reach the part of the internet about throwing stones inside glass houses. (Or learn from it)

I guess ChatGPS is different from ChatGPT.
ChatGPS is the voice in your car that says "Take unknown road to unknown road and then turn right."

And then stops responding when you go through a short tunnel right before a critical turn to get on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco on a very crowded weekend afternoon... (don't ask me how I know this)

The critical issue over here is that it sends people over bridges that in reality are ferries and not all drivers recognized the mistake in time!
