That’s a misunderstanding of why academia frowns upon Wikipedia. The fact that it can have questionable accuracy is not the major concern, but rather that it is not a primary source

AND NEITHER IS ChatGPT

No original information comes from ChatGPT. It is just a repository.

That's my point.

> It's just a random assortment of (mostly correct) information. That's the same reason why academia doesn't currently allow Wikipedia as a source for information
