Why Americans Are Trusting ChatGPT Over Real Experts

A third of Americans trust ChatGPT more than experts in areas like career advice and product recommendations.

ChatGPT is still wrong a lot, so you can’t really trust it yet . . . but a lot of us do anyway.

A new poll found a third of Americans already trust ChatGPT more than EXPERTS in at least one field or area of expertise.

The things we trust it with the most are career advice and product recommendations.  60% tend to believe what it says about that stuff.

We don’t trust it with everything yet, though.  Just 35% would trust medical advice from ChatGPT, and 28% said the same about legal advice.

Half of users say they lean on it as a learning tool . . . 33% use it for financial stuff . . . 30% ask for product recommendations . . . 20% use it for career advice . . . and 15% turn to it for relationship advice.

We still trust our own googling skills a little more than A.I., though:  Just 16% trust ChatGPT more than Google, and 41% said they trust it less.  The other 43% said it’s a tie.

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
