  The latest LLM’s are pretty damn good as a research assistant - that was its original purpose. Using chatgpt as your first go at researching a new subject (like self hosting) is perfectly valid.

  What’s wrong with this?

    I remember when “research” actually meant something. Now it just means "throw it into the black box and get some info that has a 50/50 chance of being completely made up "

      You can ask CharGPT for sources. TBH it’s often a much better search engine than Google, although that’s not hard nowadays.

        Perplexity does a good job as LLM-search-engine-combo.

      For dipping your toes into a new topic I think it’s perfectly fine. It helps to provide useful pointers for further “research” (in a sense that would meet your requirement) and also manages to provide mostly accurate overviews. But sure, to really dive into this, LLMs Like ChatGPT and co. are just some low-level assistants at best and one should go through the material themselves.

      Oh boy, I sure do love the colloquialization of language and how those who were raised on a monostatic definition get upset about their favourite words becoming dynamic.

      It’s all become quite convoluted now with all the other shit out there but they do actually serve well as a research tool in a more intuitive way than a search engine can

  Haha, well when searching for games that can be self hosted, it’s gives a list which I can then further research on the web.
