    I’m no AI fan by any means, but it’s really good at pointing directions, or rather, introducing you to topics that you didn’t know how to start researching.

    I often find myself asking: “Hey AI, I want to do this very specific thing but I don’t really know what it is called, can you help me?”. And sure enough I get the starting point, so I can close that down and search on my own.

    Otherwise, trying to learn anything in depth there is just a footgun.

      I’m seconding this and adding to it. AI is terrible for factual information but great at relative knowledge and reframing.

      I use it as a starting off point in writing research when I can’t get relevant search results. Most recently, I asked it about urban legends in modern day Louisiana and got a list for more in-depth searches, most were accurate.

      It’s good at mocking up accents and patterns of speech relative to a location/time as well.

      Unfortunately, an LLM lies about 1 in 5 to 1 in 10 times: 80% to 90% accuracy, with a proven hard limit by OpenAI and Deepmind research papers that state even with infinite power and resources it would never approach human language accuracy. Add on top of that the fact that the model is trained on human inputs which themselves are flawed, so you multiply an average person’s rate of being wrong.

      In other words, you’re better off browsing forums and asking people, or finding books on the subject, because the AI is full of shit and you’re going to be one of those idiot sloppers everybody makes fun of, you won’t know jack shit and you’ll be confidently incorrect.

            How would I search something I don’t know how it’s called? As I explained the AI is just responsible to tell me “hey this thing X exists”, and after that I go look for it on my own.

            Why am I a moron? Isn’t it the same as asking another person and then doing the heavy lifting yourself?

              “Hey AI, I want to do this very specific thing but I don’t really know what it is called, can you help me?”

              That was your previous example. You had a very specific thing in mind, meaning you knew what to search for from reputable sources. There are tons of ways to discover new previously unknown things, all of which are better than being a filthy stupid slopper.

              “Hey AI, can you please think for me? Please? I need it, idk what to do.”

                Jesus, I don’t know who hurt you or why you are so salty like that.

                I’ll stop the conversation here, funnily enough, the way you keep repeating the same thing in a different way is just like AI.

                My best wishes to you.
