The BS that ChatGPT generates is especially odious because it requires so much effort to detect if you're not a SME in whatever output it's giving.
Plus, the output, when wrong, is subtly wrong- it's usually not obvious BS, it's credible BS. If you are not competent in the particular area you're asking about, you likely don't have the skills to recognize BS.
It also is a time saver, doing work that most people find unrewarding. So you get a chorus of fans saying "it saved me a bunch of time doing my own research and just spit out what I needed". Maybe it did, or maybe they didn't have enough expertise in the area to recognize the flaws in the output it presented.
