Google has been rolling out a thing where an AI result is the first thing that pops up, often taking up the whole screen lol. I’ve personally witnessed tons of people google something normally, then just go with whatever the AI says.
Makes me shake my head, but it’s not like they were very discerning with their sources before all this nonsense, either. Hopefully they don’t rely on it for any important medical advice down the road
I was looking up when the VP debate is in the US, lamenting the olden days when a bolded date would simply appear at the top of the results.
I’m just clicking results and skimming for the date in the 1st paragraph, but nope. Every site is like fucking recipe pages now with this nonsense filler.
Anyways, third result down, DDG gives me this verbose MSN bot-written trash. It actually listed all the dates (of which there were four), that were considered for the debate, but not selected. The 5th date listed in the paragraph was the debate date.
It was a perfect example of completely useless information that a human would never consider including in an answer.
Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.
DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.
This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.
I wasn’t arguing about it’s accuracy, I was attacking it’s need to exist. fuck AI, I’m tired of hearing that acronym. can’t wait for this shit to go away like every tech fad in the last decade
I used it to write a kickass counteroffer for an internal job promotion. I was pissed off with the offer and wrote out what I REALLY thought. I asked GPT to clean it up and respond with and upbeat and positive response where I’m eager to work with them.
This is one guy I work with and he really pisses me off, he’s so stupid and he does so many dumb things that waste my time, so I also have to use chat GPT to be a liaison between me and him otherwise I’ll probably get fired for being unprofessional.
People ask AI questions to leverage its ability to process and analyze large amounts of data quickly, providing insights and answers that can help solve problems or make informed decisions. Additionally, asking AI questions can enhance creativity and innovation by prompting new ideas and perspectives.

I still don’t understand why people are asking these things any questions at all.

Duckduckgo just did that to me! I was not expecting them to hitch a ride on the bandwagon. Makes me sad.
Your comment reminded me:

Yes! Search results used to just be the answer, and then each result further done would be slightly off. Now it’s all a mess.
You’ve never asked my mum a question.
that Google AI is so shit. I just paraphrases the top result

I’m sure it’s already happening.
If lawyers have been caught using it for briefs, you can be certain there’s people in the medical field doing the same.
They make filling out a tabletop campaign easy. Idk why people are using them for serious applications.

ChatGPT about to help me get an $18k raise.

Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.
AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.
Something like that yeah, that makes sense. Similarly I view ai art generation as a brainstorming tool, but not a final product.

The glue on pizza thing is really stupid because it’s the only one AI that advises that. All the others do not advise putting glue on pizza.
The presence of one stupid person in your school does not make everyone else stupid. Fortunately, because there’s always one stupid kid
My initial thought was, “that title can end after the 3rd word.”
Because it Illustrates how fucking stupid someone has to be to take AI seriously in any relevant way.
Instead of posting here, you should just ask an AI this. It will tell you!
