Comment on Why do people get mad at you for using Wikipedia, but treat Google and AI chatbots like they're gospel?

Years of “Wikipedia is not a source” without critically thinking about what that means or when to apply it. The same people who will say that will ignore that it was meant for research papers, but somehow forgot what makes sources credible. It’s really a suffering from success thing. The phrase was just said so often it became part of people’s thoughts. Sort of like the “five dollar footlong” thing with Subway.
