  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 "

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
