Nope, not here. I got 1. Khan and 2. MIT which are good answers to "learn physics". Number 8 was SE which I do not recommend at all.

Here is what I got when I directly asked about us:

Physicsforums.com is an online community where people can discuss physics and related topics. The website has a forum for physics discussions, as well as sections for other sciences and math. It also has a homework help section where users can get help with physics problems.

Overall, physicsforums.com can be a useful resource for students and physics enthusiasts who want to discuss physics and get help with homework problems. The community is generally friendly and helpful, and there are many knowledgeable members who can provide valuable insights and explanations.

However, as with any online forum, it's important to exercise caution and critical thinking when using physicsforums.com. While many of the members are knowledgeable and provide accurate information, there may be some who provide incorrect or misleading information. Additionally, it's important to remember that online forums should not be the sole source of information for important decisions or research projects, and it's always a good idea to cross-check information with multiple sources.

In regards to the last paragraph, I am guessing that it did not reach the part of the internet about throwing stones inside glass houses. (Or learn from it)

I guess ChatGPS is different from ChatGPT.
ChatGPS is the voice in your car that says "Take unknown road to unknown road and then turn right."

And then stops responding when you go through a short tunnel right before a critical turn to get on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco on a very crowded weekend afternoon... (don't ask me how I know this)

The critical issue over here is that it sends people over bridges that in reality are ferries and not all drivers recognized the mistake in time!
