How long until ChatGPT starts responding "It's been generally agreed that the answer to your question is to just ask ChatGPT"?
just call it cgpt for short
Computer Generated Partial Truths
Last night, we tried to use chatGPT to identify a book that my wife remembers from her childhood.
It didn’t find the book, but instead gave us a title for a theoretical book that could be written that would match her description.
Same happens every time I've tried to use it for search. Will be radioactive for this type of thing until someone figures that out. Quite frustrating, if they spent as much time on determining the difference between when a user wants objective information with citations as they do determining if the response breaks content guidelines, we might actually have something useful. Instead, we get AI slop.
At least it said if it exists, instead of telling you when it was written (hallucinating)
Maybe it’s trying to motivate me to become a writer.
Both suck now.
I have to say, look it up online and verify your sources.
Just ask Elon
I say, "Just search it." Not interested in being free advertising for Google.
Is it weird I use ms copilot on a regular?
Solely because it will cite its source on answers so I don't have to sift through pages of results.
I use copilot expressly because I want my direct exposure to Ansible (such trash) to be as little as possible so as not to pollute my experience and unlearn programming, so I query, copy, validate and paste. Let its mind turn to jello, and spare mine!
I mean I get wanting this feature, but there is a dosen alternatives that more privacy respecting (Brave, Perplexity etc)

Just check your tea leaves.
Did you chatgpt this title?
"Did you ChatGPT it?"
I wondered what language this would be an unintended insult in.
Then I chuckled when I ironically realized, it's offensive in English, lmao.

"Infinitively" sounds like it could be a music album for a techno band.
The infinitive is the form of a verb that in English is said “to [x]”
For example, “to run” is the infinitive form of “run.”
OP probably meant “infinitely” worse.
OP should edit the post; or kill it if it can't be edited
We'll stand by to upvote the fix.

This is a story that's been rotating through the media since ChatGPT first released.
I have an unpopular opinion about this headline after seeing the media cycle repeatedly downplay/ignore what Alphabet has been doing in response to OpenAI: Google the search engine is not in direct competition with ChatGPT, but Gemini is, and Alphabet is smart to keep simpler/time-tested search functionality central to Google rather than react strongly and scrap the keyword-based search bar that users understand are comfortable using - especially older users, but I think most people are starting to discover they have a use for both search and LLM chats.
I think there are two product categories here, which first looked like they were going to converge in 2022-2024, but which are now slowly changing course as customers start to comprehend how both are necessary for different purposes.
When I make chats in ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude etc, I am starting to plan them longitudinally so that I can use them over and over for a specific project or query type.
When I turn to a search bar, it's because I really want a proxy for a specific website or between me and whatever weird site has the answer to my specific question. It's not that I want discussion and a chat about it, I just want Google's card-like results with a website index I can read instead of that website's stylized, animated web design on top or popups or malware.
Every time I get sucked into a chat with Bing CoPilot(ChatGPT) when I really only had a web search query, I regret wasting my time talking to the LLM. Almost as a reflex, I've started avoiding it for most things now.
Might as well. All the sites are just AI articles anyway
Google isn’t a search engine any more. It stopped being that some years ago.
Now it’s more accurately described as a shitty content feed that can be weakly filtered using key words.
This is entirely Google's fault.
Google intentionally made search worse, but even if they want to make it better again, there's very little they can do. The web itself is extremely low signal:noise, and it's almost impossible to write an algorithm that lets the signal shine through (while also giving any search results back)
It would still be better if quality search (not extracting more and more money in the short term) was their goal.
“Will you go out with me?”
Just duck it bro. (Add !chat to your query or use ai assistant in results)
GPTs natural language processing is extremely helpful for simple questions that have historically been difficult to Google because they aren't a concise concept.
The type of thing that is easy to ask but hard to create a search query for like tip of my tongue questions.
The type of question where you don't even know what you don't know.
Google used to be amazing at this. You could literally search "who dat guy dat paint dem melty clocks" and get the right answer immediately.
I mean tbf you can still search "who DAT guy" and it will give you Salvador Dali in one of those boxes that show up before the search results.
