MODERATORS
I use ChatGPT to learn all kinds of stuff. I say it's replaced 50% of my searches. Not that it's always right, but neither is all the blogspam.
jfc please have some dignity, you know you can do better than that
This restaurant has a terrible food safety rating so I just eat off their floor.
Say how and I'll do it. Kagi+ChatGPT is getting me the quickest answers.
Literally any thing that isn't trained on blogspam or notorious for making up shit. You're basically using a magic 8-ball to "learn" it just repeats what you say back at you. Its useless for research.
If a human "expert" was a known liar and fantasist who never provided sources or footnotes - would you listen to them? And if you did - why?
Does listening to them ulitmately get you to the correct answer more quickly on average than not? If so, why aren't you talking to them?
"I wave my arms blindly in the dark and every so often I touch something before tripping on the furniture"
chatgpt is trained on all the blogspam.
I think people are overly critical - it is alright for some things, and it has gotten things right for me before, but generally I have to spend so much time double checking that it's right that it isn't worth the time. If it gets a detail wrong 10-15% of the time, then I have to check it every time.
I do find it useful for admin tasks though.
