Being blunt here but this is a good example of dogmatic thought.

AI is leaps and bounds better than google at searching.

“You don’t need google for this, we have had public libraries for decades” energy.

Yeah to get the definitive answers, sure AI is quicker. Google is more like the librarian pointing you at possibly good resources to get your answers from after reading the materials and there are a lot of good learning opportunities there. LLMs just give you the answer and robs you of those opportunities.

Current AI is much, much better than current search engines (which themselves seem worse than they were decades ago, for some reason).

It really isn't. AI has nothing on a good search engine like Kagi.

This is easily disproven. I mean how can someone still believe this? Wow!

I can come up with many examples that would take you ages to search in Kagi vs one prompt in ChatGPT.

You really should be updating.

You and this board are totally delusional. This entire board is just a complete waste of time to read. Just total fucking nonsense.

False. Have you even used google in the last 6 years or so? The results are so bad that I stopped using it altogether. It pops up sometimes when I mistype something in a search bar, but that’s it.

And don’t make me laugh about “good online resources”. SO went downhill and is just a graveyard at this point where everything is frozen in time. It has some good discussions (that LLMs ingested), but that’s it.

You can hate LLMs all you want, but they’re godsend for interactive discussion with the material.
