Tja@programming.dev 3 days agoThe AI summary is additive, I don’t see how it makes it worse. I find it useful to save time and it’s right in most cases, if I need something of vital importance (like the opening time for a shop) I don’t use search results anyway, I go to maps where I expect to find a link to their official website (not trusting the opening hours on maps either).

I don’t think it saves time on net if you have to read it and then go verify it anyway. Might as well go directly to the more trustworthy source in the first place! And if you don’t care if your answer is correct, why even search? Just make something up.

It’s just more convenient. I’m not usually Googling if a mushroom is poisonous, I’m Googling how to get the length of an array in python or something similar. If it doesn’t work, I come back and look at the second result, which happens less than once a week.
