@Suoko Do we really need a lit of multiple competing bullshit fountains though?
I mean, they’re technically impressive bullshit fountains, but they’re still bullshit fountains.

Chatgpt can be great to learn new stuff and you do not know where to begin. Better than the traditional search engine at least
@hanabatake @goatsarah yes but be careful, I tested chatGPT asking about topic I already know (such geometry) and it often gived mi wrong informations
@goatsarah @QuasiMagia @hanabatake Good to know. I used it for programming and sometimes I need to correct the code a bit. I think it’s good to use it for developing because it quickly reveals itself if the information is incorrect.
I agree that it sucks in mathematics. However, when I asked it what question should one ask on an exam, a job interview… for coding, he gave good things to look after. It do not provide good answers but it help to turn unknown unknown in known unknown (https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/35284/known-unknown-vs-unknown-known)
@hanabatake yesm even for coding, it does not give good answers but it helps to understand some things
I think it’s probably worse than traditional search engines, simply because it takes information from them already and parses it into conversational language.
The problem being, by being conversational it increases not just the clarity of the information it conveys, but the credibility as well. And that credibility is not always earned.
Learning new stuff isn’t a good thing if the stuff you’re learning is wrong.
The only thing AI is useful for me, is to use it as a search engine, to talk to a bot I already have enough with telephone customer service. For search engines it is true that YouChat is very good, but I also use Andisearch (the first search engine with AI) and now also Perplexity AI, which is also very good.
I want to share my snippet of thought on this AI chat assistant phenomenon. We should stay away from empowering any of these corporation models with our data and input, and exclusively choose to empower open community models. OpenAI CEO recently making a statement about how he is dismantling capitalism, as a corporation, smelled too foul to me.
