You can just ask it "What scholars or source material books could I check out to verify these linguistics facts?".
Many facts and answers are gathered/aggregated from many different (sometimes conflicting) sources. It won't link the internet page where it found the information, because it didn't find the information on a single internet page.
At on point I asked it for academic papers that said a particular thing, as best I can tell, only about 60% of the papers it cited actually existed

One thing I’ve noticed, is that at least in the free version, if you ask chatGPT for sources outside itself, ‘can you give me a link to somewhere on it internet where it says that?’, it won’t do that.
It is very much a black box in terms of letting you track its logic.
Seems like future versions should be much more transparent in terms of letting you track the logic of why it’s telling you what it’s telling you.
fwiw, there's a building my sister lived in in Pittsburgh, the Penn Garrison, it's downtown, not totally sure what the history behind its development is, or what the window related zoning issues are in Pittsburgh, but it has one-bedroom apartments where the bedroom doesn't have any windows.
If you're interested in what it looks like, at least the promotional version of it, https://www.pmcpropertygroup.com/properties/penn-garrison-lo...
If you put enough soft lighting up, it was perfectly fine
I'm too old to have done this when I went through school, but I suspect a good practice is to go through your syllabus, and but the major unit covered into the youtube search bar.
I suspect you get all sorts of parallel presentations of the material in a way that is quite helpful for retention.
OT: Are those books worth reading? I loved the Power Broker but the LBJ books are a whole lot to get through.
Short answer, yes.
Longer answer - from my prospective - I enjoyed the first book Path to Power the most, which revolves around LBJs early life up to becoming a US Representative. I thought it was very on par with the Power Broker. That an the Power Broker would probably be my first recommendation to an ambitious college kid who wants to know the real Politik of how the world works.
The next book Means of Assent was my least favorite of Caro’s books, but still highly enjoyable.
Master of the Senate and Passage of Power are both great. But sort of specific to LBJs spot in life. Great, but I’m not sure they sparked my thinking quite the way the Power Broker and Path to Power did.
At least the political ones (some) came about for clarification (JFK and RFK are both Kennedies, GWB is to distinguish from "Bush"). Others come from their names being long or hard to remember/pronounce/spell (I suspect this is what happened with AOC).
The Robert Caro books about Lyndon B Johnson detail his effort to force meme “LBJ” as a reference to him.
(Mostly in terms of insisting various communications employees use it in press releases and what not).
It seems he liked the iconography of it, especially in putting himself in similar company to FDR.
Both his daughters have the LBJ initials, his wife is mostly known as Lady Bird Johnson (a nickname that predates their relationship, but is not her given name)
This doesn't necessarily need to be an article, because the author could have just handled it with each venue individually, but this just gets the conversation going about general sentiment and wider applicability.
My guess is that early on this kind of youtuber was relatively rare and so being captured occasionally wasn't a big deal, but that now the trend is catching on, a it's happening regularly and becoming a concern for some people.
I guess they can weigh that against their customers desire for privacy.
