    At this point, ad blocker is pretty much mandatory for me, just like how antivirus software used to be a decade ago (probably more)

        Can’t wait for them to be starved. Does installing two adblockers speed up the process?

  Unfortunately now Google is ChatGPT. It provides its own shitty AI answers, and its search results have been corrupted by an ocean of slop.

    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.

  You’re giving people using google too much credit.

  chapGPT is drunk uncle confidently stating a thing they heard third hand from Janet in accounting and then taking him at his word

  Also you: “why do people bother to mention when information comes from ChatGPT”

  Ai’s provide you with links so you can use your critical thinking

  source

  • spankmonkey@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?

      But don’t you see? It allows the corporations to insert their opinion into the answer and bias you before you click that link. That’s better right?

        You are correct. AI can give an a completely different answer than its source and they can just blame it on AI. This is true but Google has sway the results given depending on the individual. Obama talks about this and how it contributes to the extreme divide of people of the US.

      It steals content from creators while being worse for the environment at the same time. Not the same thing, it is worse.

      I worked in education in computer science and basic usage in nearly every age group. When you realize how bad people are at using search engines, you can see why people think they accomplished something using AI. It’s like giving a child a calculator saying he can do math now.

      Creating search prompts itself is a skill. You wouldn’t think so until trying to teach some one logic through search prompts. It is hell, literally my hell. Some people just don’t get it like 0 percent.

      Differentiating what is a good source and what is a bad source is an even harder skill. People will believe what they want to believe. Google search adapts to the bias of individuals because it keeps people searching. This is why, even though it isn’t perfect, engines like duckduckgo are important.
