Assistive tech for people that have trouble holding forks/spoons/etc. Made from my favorite lesser known material, polyhydroxyalkanoates, which is fully biodegradable in any biome. Anyone else making AT for people?

Be aware that ChatGPT will simply make things up in the most convincing way if it doesn't actually know the answer. It's really no good as a search engine.

True, it's always good to verify with academic articles. I'd never trust ChatGPT without also verifying with sources--if for no other reason than its training dataset was cutoff in 2021. It's generally good to seek out research that is less than 3-5 years old when possible, due to how quickly the scientific landscape changes. According to this particular article from 2019, ChatGPT's response was pretty accurate.
