I know the party line is to hate AI but y’all are simply wrong about this.

    there’s only one use case for AI that I currently support, and that is as some kind of search engine assistant, as is the case with the AI in Bing, and that’s really depressing… the internet is so shitty that we have to ask the shittificator tool to make it less shitty for a split second

      I searched a medical thing on Bing and it added an generated search result that spliced together text from multiple websites to say literally the opposite of what was true. Such garbage, and dangerous.

        yeah my experience with all of these so far has been that I have to double-check literally everything it tells me. and then, what’s the point? I wind up having to do the research anyway

        I’ve asked basic things that a search engine should be able to handle, like “what are some songs that use <x> chord progression in C major?” and gotten back wrong answers, with citations to links that didn’t say what it said they said
