Google also making search worse so people will use their slop machine instead

It is like a search engine that will randomly spit out something correct (a human's work), wrong, or sadly wrong.

With every response to a prompt you get to figure out the relative level of bullshit or propaganda.

It's a search engine that you already have to know the answer to use.

Often it is exactly the same as the top stack overflow answer. Sometimes it throws in some extra shit to make it incorrect though, so you have to scroll down and click on the SO link, which is what you would have done before all of this nonsense anyway.

It seems like Google Fu for people without Google Fu

Less ads though.

Do people think it's something else!?

Reminds me, I ran a script to edit all my comments before deleting them all when I left years ago.

That doesn't mean much, sources get hallucinated too

Asking an LLM to cite its sources is like asking a street-drug dealer where the drugs are grown/manufactured. They don't know, and if they did they wouldn't tell you.

Yeah, but they were also trained on tons of other incorrect, useless bullshit, so

Quite sad

Do you mean “in another 0 years” because reddit is at least 50% bots, possibly as high as 70% depending on the study

I'm not sure I'd trust 11 year old Lemmy answers.

that's why "from 11 years ago"

from 11 years ago

Well where do you think AI got its info from LOL

Okay fine, anyone from 11 years ago EXCEPT trainguyrom
