Yeah switching search links will help but it’s a band-aid. AI has stolen literally everyone’s work without any attempt at consent or remuneration and the reason is now your search is 100 times faster, comes back with exactly something you can copy & paste and you never have to dig through links or bat away confirmation boxes to find out it doesn’t have what you need.
It’s straight up smash-n-grab. And it’s going to work. Just like everybody and their grandma gave up all their personal information to facebook so will your searches be done through AI.
The answer is to regulate the bejesus out of AI and ensure they haven’t stolen anything. That answer was rendered moot by electing trump.
I don’t know about you, but my results have been wrong or outdated at least a quarter of the time. If you flip two coins and both are heads, your information is outright useless. What’s the point in looking something up to maybe find the right answer? We’re entering a new dark age, and I hate it.
I’ve been asking a bunch of next-to-obvious questions about things that don’t really matter and it’s been pretty good. It still confidently lies when it gives instructions but a fair amount of time it does what I asked it for.
I’d prefer to not have it, because it’s ethically putrid. But it converts currency and weights and translates things as well as expected and in half the time i’d spend doing it manually. Plus I kind of hope using it puts them out of business. It’s not like I’d pay for it.
I refuse to believe that it’s in any way better or faster at unit and currency conversion than plain Google or DuckDuckGo. Literally type “100 EUR to USD” and you’ll get an almost instant answer. Same with units: “100 feet to meters”.
And if you’re using it, you’re helping their business. It’s as simple as that.

I’m trying to think of a way I could give a shit. . . . MMmmmmnope.

O no i are evilz! Hey I don’t have to ask AI if you have a giant stick up your ass because frankly that sounds dangerous but maybe you can stop being a holier-than-thou prick? Oh! I typed something into AI! I’ve ruined the planet and killed all the innocents!! Bad me!
First of all, you’re a flatulent poisonous idiot because you can’t actually explain how I helped “their” business without being wrong, and secondly you’re an arrogant dipshit because LLMs run locally so there’s no ‘business’ to ‘help’ (heaven forfend), and thirdly you’re a smelly idiot with a big butt and you like to smell your own butt because you knee-jerked your way into a discussion about the current state of consumer-facing AI by screeching that IT BAD.
Yeah no shit, it’s “bad”. Do you not understand how Microsoft works? Does the whole of the fascist techno-state elude your finely-tuned sense of morality? Well why the fuck are you on a computer then - you’re contributing to the problem! How can you be so callous and ignorant as to not only use pen and paper?! Just admit you love licking fascist boots!!
Jesus fucking christ just saying what my experience was and you shit on it like I’m some blood-soaked child murderer back to steal your catalytic converter.
Curious what and how you’re prompting. I get solid results, but I’m only asking for hard facts, nothing that could have opinion or agenda inserted. Also, I never go past the first prompt. There be dragons that way.
Niche history and mineralogy topics. Just looking for threads to tug. I found that it offered me threads but they often did not lead anywhere relevant or outright did not exist. Which is fine, but kinda removes my need for AI. If I have a general purpose question, I check certain websites. I already know how to serve myself everyday information. AI’s just not helpful for my use case.
Overall, It’s time neutral. But it raises my blood pressure when it hallucinates, and dying of a stroke is undesirable for me.

100%. Unit conversion is a solved problem, and it is impossible for an AI to be faster or more accurate than any of the existing converters.
I do not need an AI calculator, because I have no desire to need to double check my calculator.
Well spotted. I retract my notion that unit conversion was convenient. Clearly I should have switched to another tab to do the thing that is solved.
