Why do people bring this up every fucking time?

Not the same thing.
google allows for the possibility that the user was able to think critically about sources that a search returned

Unfortunately now Google is ChatGPT. It provides its own shitty AI answers, and its search results have been corrupted by an ocean of slop.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I assumed it was bwing used the current common usage for using a web search, like how kleenex is used for any facial tittle, not literally Google the search engine.
Speaking of literal, Google is puttung Gemini results before search results, not using chatGPT.

Ai’s provide you with links so you can use your critical thinking
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Do you click on the links?
If they are links from the search, isn’t that just the same thing as doing a regular search and verifying the results?
What does this extra layer add other than an unreliable middleman who is extremely inefficient?
thedruid@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Because people are dumber than chatgpt.
It also proves we don’t have a 50/50 split in intelligence. We need to look at the mean, then we’ll see most people are just plain fucking dumb
hisao@ani.social 1 month ago
Also, lazier. I’m more likely to stick with information from the first 1-3 search results I decided to click, while AI will parse and summarize dozens in fraction of time I spend reading just one.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Honest answer? It’s easy and it won’t judge you for asking stupid questions.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Search engines and Wikipedia don’t judge you for asking stupid questions either.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
You’re right, but they take actual thought and effort. People who use chat gpt don’t wanna do that.

what do you mean? it’s like being angry that people bring up I googled something
Slotos@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Googling at least until fairly recently meant „I consulted an index of Internet”. It is a means to get to the bit of information.
Asking ChatGPT is like asking a well-behaved parrot in the library and believing every word it says instead of reading the actual book the librarian would point you towards.
hisao@ani.social 1 month ago
I use it instead of search most of the time nowadays. Why? Because it does proceed to google it for me, parse search results, read the pages behind those links, summarize everything from there, present it to me in short condensed form and also provide the links where it got the info from. This feature been here for a while.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 month ago
And it still gets shit wrong.

It’s all good, Lemmy users are violently anti-ai and are genuinely learning right now that chatgpt, mistral, perplexity etc can search the web

google: I checked the listing of news sites to find out information about a world event directly from professionals who double check their sources
chatGPT: I asked my hairstylist their uninformed opinion on a world event based on overheard conversations
I mean a moron could find the wrong information from google and your hairstylist could get lucky and be right, but odds are one source provides the opportunity for reliable results and the other is random and has a massive shit ton of downsides.
LesserAbe@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Lots of legitimate concerns and issues with AI, but if you’re going to criticize someone saying they used it you should at least understand how it works so your criticism is applicable.
It is useful. Chatgpt performs web searches, then summarizes the results in a way customized to what you asked it. It skips the step where you have to sift through a bunch of results and determine “is this what I was looking for?” and “how does this apply to my specific context?”
Of course it can and does still get things wrong. It’s crazy to market it as a new electronic god. But it’s not random, and it’s right the majority of the time.

Right: it skips the part where human intelligence and critical thinking is applied. Do you not understand how that’s a fucking problem‽

What if your hairstylist is on the Fediverse, avoids mainstream social media, and spends a lot of their spare time reading scientific papers?
grue@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Looking up a list of resources that you then evaluate yourself is very categorically different from getting an “answer” from a bot.

I think it’s because it causes all of Lemmy to have a collective ragegasm. It’s kind of funny in a trollish way. I support OP in this endeavour.

I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really?
How works you phrase this differently?
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
“It looks like this feature was added 5 years ago.”
If asking for confirmation, just ask for confirmation.
neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
So, your solution is for the user to provide less information and then respond to people to inform them if they used chatgpt if asked?
It just seems like much less reps are used if they say they used ChatGPT.
Additionally, if they don’t say it and no one asks, in the future people might look for a source, at least this way there is a warning there might be misinformation.
I know what your going to say next, they should research the thing themselves independently of ChatGPT, but honestly, they probably don’t care/have the time to look up released notes over the past few years.

Because they know it’s not accurate and explicitly mention it so you know where this information comes from.
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Then why post it at all?
Xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org 1 month ago
Because they’d still like to know? it’s generally expected to do some research on your own before asking other people, and inform them of what you’ve already tried
