4 days ago@jon@vivaldi.net This is actually why science was invented. People’s subjective experiences are very often wrong. It’s what we think we see. I’m wrong all the time because of my biases and preconceptions.
Professor in Biological Sciences at Tarleton State University. My focus is population genetics at the interface between populations and species–including hybridization. Because I work at a university that (historically) has been teaching focused, my research questions and methodology are relatively simple. I like simple science.
I’m active on iNaturalist, posting observations of as many different species as I find and providing identifications of others’ observations.

@jon@vivaldi.net I dont think it’s possible to quantify (beyond gut feeling…which is ver biased and often wrong) what impact AI is having on search results. AI summaries can only be evaluated against what we know to be true. So there are difficulties there also without doing a well designed experiment.
@jon@vivaldi.net Do you mean to ask if the internet is filling up with AI generated content? Or whether or not AI summaries provide value to search results? Because AI summaries do not replace or change search results themselves, they are added to the results.
1·2 months ago@realitista Then I think you’ve found your answer. Loosen your requirements or stick with your current OS. Like others have said, things like Microsoft Exchange Server do not want you to leave Microsoft. What’s in it for them to facilitate your desire to use it outside the Microsoft ecosystem? Not everyone has your very long list of demands. Linux will still work for most people just fine. Just not most people just like you.
@realitista I’m honestly not being rude, but use Google or some other search engine. The answers are out there to be found! Then try them out to see if they meet your rigorous standards. It will take too much time to provide all the info you seek. And we wouldn’t know if you’d be satisfied or not anyway.
7·4 months ago@lemmee_in I can’t find any news about this. Just a statement in a forum and everyone basing subsequent articles on that. It appears to have been limited to a single company? Is there any support for this claim?
1·11 months ago@edtechdev That seems to add to the challenge. But I don’t see any discussion of it. I see articles where instructors are requiring students to use ChatGPT but no mention of the ethics of the requirement to sign up for it.
@edtechdev Is it considered ethical to require students to sign up (register) to use AI tools?
@jon@vivaldi.net Something that I’ve been wondering the past several months is if anyone has attempted to objectively tried to address the question of quality of search results. I dont even know if one can objectively test one search engine against another much less the past versus the present. Do you know of any efforts to do this?
