alt Hacker NewsFirst link to ChatGPT as a "source" that I've seen in the wild.
Times they are a-changing.
I can't say that anyone is going to find that very convincing, even if it's a compelling idea to consider gold inflation over the centuries.

Yeah, I saw that link and had a few thoughts immediately collide in my head:
- Wait, WTF? Really??
- But but but it's a *chatbot*, not an authority
- We're doomed
Unless there's something I'm missing, there isn't even a response at the link - just a question.
(And if that was how the user posed the question, I'd be concerned that priming the chat with "is it true that..." biased the response towards "yes, it's true".)
