ChatGPT sourcing still sucks.

A week ago, I asked ChatGPT to evaluate its performance under the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics.

It wasn’t pretty.

The revolutionary artificial intelligence model said it does not identify sources unless the information is directly provided within the prompt.

That’s unethical. And dangerous.
