I haven’t used a search engine since I started using ChatGPT. It does all the heavy lifting for me.
I am concerned to think of all the terrible and just plain wrong information you have been given.
How is that different from Google?
Not concerned enough to back any of that accusation up with evidence.
Most of the time, information that you’re doing something wrong should be enough to prompt you to dig deeper into the matter. It’s not the job of perfect strangers to educate you.
You’re wrong. Educate yourself.
You should tattoo “I’m wrong but I don’t want to educate myself” on your forehead so people know not to waste their time.
Lemmy has a tagging system, definitely recommend tagging this user so you get a warning that they might be wrong but don't want to educate themselves, then you can just ignore them and move on with your day.
I learned it by watching you
The problem with using it as a search engine is that if it doesn't know the answer it commonly makes things up. I tried using it for work but it got details wrong enough to make it useless.
You can’t trust search engine results either. It’s just another tool that you use to arrive at a conclusion. You still have to do work.
You could in the past. About 6 years ago or so the top 3 results were almost always correct.
Currently you can't because of the AI generated content that gets things wrong the same way as using an AI as a search engine.
