Sometimes it’s nice to know where you even start, then verify from there.
Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good
bigfondue@lemmy.world 2 days agoIf you are just going to verify the info, why not just find out yourself and save yourself some time?

It depends on what info you’re trying to find.
I was recently trying to figure out the name of a particular uncommon type of pipe fitting. I could describe what it looked like, but had no idea what it was called. I described it to chatgpt, which gave me a name, which I could then search for with a normal search engine to confirm that the name was correct. Sure enough, search results took me to plumbing supply companies selling it, with pictures that matched what I described.
But, asking it when a particular feature got added to a piece of software? There’s no additional information one would get from the answer to help them confirm that the answer is correct.

You should use something like perplexity instead that actually provides links to where it found the information.
